the higher the octane the better it burns and you get less build-up in your pistons, some vehicles recommend higher octane !
these are most likely used in the faster cars for drag racing to get up more speed and when it reacts, it glows a bright white
n-heptane has a zero octane number because it is the reference fuel used to establish the octane rating scale. Its resistance to knocking is very poor, leading to a rating of zero on the scale. Other fuels are compared to n-heptane to determine their octane numbers.
they are quite different.. ethanol is an alcohol ..C2H5-OH while octane is a hydrocarbon... C8H18 . octane is an important part of petrol . similarity is that , ethanol also may be used as petrol (in combination) it is also known as Bio- fuel...
Octane is a physical property because it describes the physical characteristics of a substance, for example, its boiling point, melting point, density, and odor. In the case of octane, it is a liquid hydrocarbon that is commonly used as a standard to measure the performance of fuel.
I expect you mean octane. You may wish to be reminded of its isomers which are listed in its wikipedia article.
Octane is a hydrocarbon compound with the chemical formula C8H18. It is a colorless liquid with a high energy content and is used as a fuel in gasoline. Octane has a low solubility in water but is soluble in other organic solvents.

No, octane is not a base. Octane is a hydrocarbon compound, specifically an alkane. It is commonly found in gasoline and used as a fuel.
The octane rating of methanol depends on the octane rating scale measurement type used, n-Heptane is the zero point of the octane rating scale then the octane rating of methanol is 115
regular unleaded 87 octane
ISO-octane, or 2, 2, 4-Trimethylpentane is mainly used in the production of gasoline. When added, it reduces engine knocking. The addition of ISO-octane is what is referred to when a gasoline's octane rating is referred to, and a 100 rating is when only ISO-octane is added to the gasoline. A zero rating is when only heptane is added, so the various ratings refer to the ratio and blends added to fuel.
Premium!
I would use 91 octane gas. That is what I used in my Honda Elite 150.
The correct octane fuel for a 1998 Subaru Legacy is RON98. This is the right octane to be used based on this car's engine for best performance.
When octane is burned, it releases energy in the form of heat. This energy is typically measured in units of kilojoules per mole of octane burned. The energy released during combustion of octane is used to power engines and vehicles.
