          Appeal No. 96-2800                                                          
          Application 08/149,042                                                      


          content (col. 1, lines 21-23), thereby teaching away from the               
          claimed invention which specifically requires an octane number              
          of 100 and a heat of combustion of 18,000 BTU per pound.                    
               With respect to the provisional rejection on the ground                
          of obviousness-type double patenting, appellant has not                     
          contested the propriety of the rejection.  Rather, appellant                
          urges that                                                                  


          "upon favorable action on this appeal, this provisional                     
          rejection will be attended to."  Accordingly, the obviousness-              
          type double patenting rejection is affirmed.                                
               The decision of the examiner is affirmed.                              
               No time period for taking any subsequent action in                     
          connection with this appeal may be extended under 37 CFR                    
          § 1.136(a).                                                                 
                                      AFFIRMED                                        









                                          4
