1. A method for production of a synthetized gasoline product, comprising at least 20 wt % aromatics, from a synthetic hydrocarbon mixture produced from a mixture of reactive oxygenates comprising the steps of:
a. separating the synthetic hydrocarbon mixture in at least a light hydrocarbon fraction, and a higher boiling hydrocarbon fraction, wherein the higher boiling fraction comprises at least 80% of the molecules comprising 10 or more carbon atoms present in the hydrocarbon mixture and less than 20% of the molecules comprising exactly 9 carbon atoms present in the synthetic hydrocarbon mixture; and
b. directing at least an amount of said higher boiling hydrocarbon fraction as a hydrocracking feedstock to contact a material catalytically active in hydrocracking under effective hydrocracking conditions providing a hydrocracked hydrocarbon stream, wherein at least an amount of said hydrocracked hydrocarbon stream, optionally after further hydroprocessing, is combined with at least an amount of said light hydrocarbon fraction, to provide said synthetized gasoline product having a T90 according to ASTM D86 being below the T90 according to ASTM D86 of said synthetic hydrocarbon mixture.
