1. A method for upgrading a hydrocarbon feed, the method comprising contacting the hydrocarbon feed with a fluidized catalytic cracking (FCC) catalyst composition in a fluidized catalytic cracking reactor at reaction conditions to upgrade at least a portion of the hydrocarbon feed to produce gasoline and light olefins, where the FCC catalyst composition comprises:
an FCC catalyst; and
from 1 wt.% to 30 wt.% aromatization-promoting FCC additive based on the total weight of the FCC catalyst composition, the aromatization-promoting FCC additive comprising an MFI zeolite modified by an aromatization compound, where the aromatization compound comprises gallium oxide.
