A fuel composition comprises at least a tetramethylcyclohexane and a fuel component. The tetramethylcyclohexane can be used as a fuel component or as a fuel additive in the fuel composition. The fuel composition may further comprise a conventional fuel component selected from a petroleum-based fuel component such as diesel fuel, jet fuel, kerosene or gasoline; or a coal-based fuel component. Methods of making and using the fuel composition are also disclosed. L'invention porte sur une composition de carburant qui comprend au moins un tétraméthylcyclohexane et un composant de carburant. Le tétraméthylcyclohexane peut être utilisé comme composant du carburant ou comme additif pour carburant dans la composition de carburant. La composition de carburant peut en outre comprendre un composant de carburant classique choisi parmi un composant de carburant d'origine pétrolière tel qu'un carburant diesel, un carburant pour avions, le kérosène ou l'essence; ou un composant de carburant issu du charbon. L'invention porte également sur des procédés de fabrication et d'utilisation de la composition de carburant.
