The present disclosure generally relates to a fuel additive composition for use in reducing corrosion and wear in an internal combustion engine or fuel component part thereof. The fuel additive composition includes a polyetheramine salt obtained by either (a) mixing a polyoxyalkylene monoamine and at least one of a dicarboxylic acid or a tricarboxylic acid or (b) mixing a polyoxyalkylene polyamine and at least one of a monocarboxylic acid, the dicarboxylic acid, or the tricarboxylic acid.

Described are compounds, compositions, and methods that include oxygenated aromatic amines, such as an aminophenol-, phenyl-p-phenylenediamine-, and diaminobenzene-based compound useful as antioxidants. The oxygenated aromatic amine includes a secondary and/or tertiary amine group having a nitrogen that is attached to one or two carbon-containing group(s), the carbon-containing group(s) having a hydroxyl and/or ether group separated from the nitrogen by one or more carbon atoms.
