octane rating became a major focus of aero engine development for the remainder of the war, with later fuels having up to a nominal 150-octane rating...

cooling properties of ethanol. E85 has an octane rating higher than that of regular gasoline's typical rating of 87, or premium gasoline's 91-93. This...

100% heptane fuel is the zero point of the octane rating scale (the 100 point is 100% iso-octane). Octane number equates to the anti-knock qualities of...

rating) (CN) is an indicator of the combustion speed of diesel fuel and compression needed for ignition. It plays a similar role for diesel as octane...

gasoline additive used to reduce engine knocking and increase the fuel's octane rating by raising the temperature and pressure at which auto-ignition occurs...

defined. For example, gasoline may have an octane rating between 88 and 102. Because TVO has a lower octane rating than petrol, the engine needs a lower compression...

used as a fuel additive, MTBE is blended into gasoline to increase its octane rating and knock resistance, and reduce unwanted emissions. MTBE is manufactured...
