  2. Octane rating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octane_rating

    Canada: in Canada octane rating is displayed in AKI. In most areas, the standard grades are 87 (regular), 89 (mid-grade) and 91–94 (premium) AKI. In the Atlantic Provinces, gasoline is often available without any blend of ethanol, but only up to 91 AKI. [49] China: 92 RON and 95 RON (previously 90 RON, 93 RON and 97 RON [50]) are commonly ...

  3. List of U.S. states by standard octane ratings - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_U.S._states_by...

    In the United States and Canada, octane ratings are in AKI, commonly shown as "(R+M)/2". All states require gas pumps to be labeled with the correct octane level and nearly all states do regular testing to make sure gas stations are in compliance. A minimum 82 octane fuel is recommended for most vehicles produced since 1984. Older cars with ...

  4. List of gasoline additives - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_gasoline_additives

    Petrol additives may increase petrol's octane rating, thus allowing the use of higher compression ratios for greater efficiency and power, or act as corrosion inhibitors or lubricants. Other additives include metal deactivators, oxygenates and antioxidants. Some additives are harmful and are regulated or banned in some countries.

    It has an octane rating ... The cost to convert a vehicle to propane in Canada is approximately CA$4,000 to CA$ ... (about €0.52 per litre while 95-octane unleaded ...

  7. Common ethanol fuel mixtures - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_ethanol_fuel_mixtures

    High percentage ethanol mixtures are used in some racing engine applications as the very high octane rating of ethanol is compatible with very high compression ratios. Ethanol fuel mixtures have "E" numbers which describe the percentage of ethanol fuel in the mixture by volume, for example, E85 is 85% anhydrous ethanol and 15% gasoline. Low ...

  8. Octane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octane

    N-octane is the octane isomer that has the longest carbon skeleton. Unlike its constitutional isomers, it has a very low knock resistance. The octane isomer, iso-octane, is used as one of the standards for octane ratings. It has a rating of 100 by definition. The octane isomer 2,3,3-Trimethylpentane has an octane rating exceeding 100.

  9. Alcohol fuel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcohol_fuel

    Both alcohols have a high octane rating, with ethanol at 109 RON (Research Octane Number), 90 MON (Motor Octane Number), (which equates to 99.5 AKI) and methanol at 109 RON, 89 MON (which equates to 99 AKI). [2] Note that AKI refers to 'Anti-Knock Index' which averages the RON and MON ratings (RON+MON)/2, and is used on U.S. gas station pumps ...
