Your local gas station probably offers you 3 levels of gasoline, like
gold, silver and bronze. These typically have different levels of
octane in them and you will generally get a little better mileage for
the more expensive type.

In addition to different octane levels there are many different
additives that can be in a companies brand of gasoline and this
differentiation can have a big impact on your vehicle.

One type of additive is a detergent which generally cleans your
engine. Without some level of detergents engine deposits form and this
causes reduced fuel efficiency, acceleration and power as well as
increasing emissions and rough idling.

So does this additive package blended into the gasoline clean up the
sound in my stereo system? This is rec.AUDIO.car.

Whats with the web site listed for donating cars? Smells like SPAM to
me.

Before you go spamming groups with off-topic rubbish check your facts.
Petrol doesn't contain different levels of octane - the octane number is
a method of classifying the autoignition resistance of gasoline
(petrol). It is not an additive.

Now P155 OFF :-)

well just for the record, the higher the octane the slower the fuel
will burn. In the USA all gas is cracked to a lower octane such as
might be required at higer elevations. Then octane boosters are added
to create mostly 3 grades here in the USA.

Yes, Arthur, octane boosters are added ~ the important word being
"boosters". You can't add octane itself.

I'm 99% sure that Octane is a 8 Carbon Alkane straight chain structure
Due to it's long chain length and lack of substitunent groups has
relatively high melting/ boiling point and will require a greate
temperature to become compustable in comparison to smaller straigh
chain alkanes that make up gasoline.

- So what some have stated is right
The "purity" "effectivness" "strength" choose your Adjective of choice
is rating by the amount of Octane Molecules in the gas mixture.

How Octane Apply to your car.

The Idea inside the engine - Air - Mixes w/ Fuel.... Spark Fires...
Explosion...

You want the Explosions(you have many cilindyers) to by time
perfectly. You also want the fuel to be burned to completion -

The type of engine dictates the fuel that you should be using, If th
engine is "setup" tuned for regular, give it regular. If you ar
recommended to use premium use premium
