Shell claims the nitrogen compounds improve detergency and reduce carbon
buildup on intake valves.  Probably whitens your teeth as well, not to
mention the heartbreak of psoriasis.

Remember the OK city bombing?  One of the main bomb ingredients was ammonium
nitrate (a common fertilizer).

However, it doesn't spontaneously combine with most metals (rust), so it is
used sometimes to reduce corrosion.
