I don't think it would be practical. Usually you would try to make gasoline, or a substitute, out of something that actually has a significant energy content. Otherwise, you would need to invest a lot of energy in the conversion.

Why would we not crack octane industrially?
Octane is very useful the way it comes, and the lower alkanes you could crack octane into are plentiful. Cracking is a good technique for converting bitumen into an alkane that fuel can be made from, but you can make fuel (specifically gasoline) from octane.
What is octane made of?
Octane is made of 16 Hydrogen Molecules and 8 Carbon Molecules
What is octane made up of?
C8h18
What is the hardest object made of metal?
sludge hammer
What atoms is gasoline made out of?
Gasoline is not a simple chemical compound, it is a mixture of hundreds of different compounds. Most of the composition of gasoline consists of hydrocarbons, which are usually considered hazardous. Some of these hydrocarbons are: benzene, (up to 5% by volume), toluene (up to 35% by volume), naphthalene (up to 1% by volume), trimethylbenzene (up to 7% by volume), MTBE (up to 18% by volume), and about ten others.
What is octane number of a fuel?
Many car engines run on gasoline. If the octane is low, the engine will knock. If it is high, the engine will not knock, which means that sometimes it will make a knocking sound as you drive along. It also might keep running when you turn off the key to the car. With high octane, the engine also starts easier. It is more expensive to make high octane fuel. Lower octane fuel gets better milage. There are two organic chemicals: isooctane and heptane. Isooctane is a good fuel for cars. It is rated at 100 octane. Heptane is a bad fuel for cars. It is rated at zero octane. When gasoline is made, they need to make a certain octane. They put the gasoline in a car engine. They then run the car with a mixture of isooctane and heptane. They find the mixture that matches the batch of gasoline. That is the octane rating of the new batch of gasoline.

Is octane a saturate carbon?
Octane is any hydrocarbon made of 8 carbons, it can be saturated, unsaturated, branched, cyclic, etc.
