[QUOTE="esqeddy, post: 14089627, member: 12322"] Octane is simply a measure of how much compression the fuel can withstand before it detonates on its own. It is not the measure of energy that a given fuel will produce. You don't want the fuel/air mixture, which has been compressed into the combustion chamber to ignite before you hit it with a spark from the spark plug. If the octane is too low for the level of compression, that is what happens. This can damage the engine. Further, pre-ignition of the fuel will reduce the power output of the engine at the very least. [/QUOTE]
