Additives to the fuel of internal-combustion engines reduce or eliminate the explosive noise resulting from too rapid combustion; the higher the octane number, the greater the anti-knock properties.

When we pull into the gas island there is basically a choice of three gas pumps offering three different prices and three different octane numbers, expressed as ( R + M ) / 2.

At the end of the 1983 season, Renault and Ferrari, both beaten to the Drivers'Championship by Piquet, protested that the Research Octane Number ( RON ) of the team's fuel was above the legal limit of 102.

If all unsaturated aliphatic bonds are removed in an effort to increase octane number, a happy side-effect would be that this particular sort of polymerization wouldn't happen, but you'd probably do better to ask a NASCAR pit crew veteran.

In the U . S . gasoline is described in terms of its " pump octane ", which is the mean of their " RON " ( Research Octane Number ) and " MON " ( Motor Octane Number ).
