octane
you are correct that the octane rating is based on the fuel's resistance to detonation and if you can do anything to insure your engine's running better, as in preventing any detonation, in the long run wouldn't that improve overall performance? i guess i should have chosen my words a little differently and nixed "combustion" altogether. then octane effects when the combustion takes place vs the actual burning of the fuel. would you say that was an accurate description in very simplistic terms? i always seem to confuse this octane subject and you have given a very clear explanation. thanks.
