And we certainly see a decrease in NOx without a significant increase in HC or CO. So, in some instances, buying a slightly higher octane fuel can both increase performance and help pass a failed emissions test. Generally, yes, spending money on higher octane than your owner's manual recommends is a waste of money. But sometimes ethanol tilts the scales. Of the 6 vehicles I've owned, 2 benefited from slightly higher octane-the other 4 suffered.
A fuel with a higher octane rating is less prone to auto-ignition and can withstand a greater rise in temperature during the compression stroke of an internal combustion engine without auto-igniting, thus allowing more power to be extracted from the Otto-Cycle.he higher the octane number, the more compression the fuel can withstand before detonating (igniting). In broad terms, fuels with a higher octane rating are used in high performance gasoline engines that require higher compression ratios.
