However, components of gasoline other than isomers of octane can also contribute to a high octane rating, while some isomers of octane can lower it, and n-octane itself has a negative octane rating

edit:

for what i know the antiknokcing charachteristic dpened on what kind of engine

so the fuel is syn with engine, normally revolutions

i just learnt it can even be negative

edit:

imagine i fuel creates a flame tongue in 0.1 seconds
the sync so the fuel doesnt expand while the piston contract and knoks depends on the speed of it

the antiknocking chararacthericstics of fuel that is the octanes determines how much does it take to burn
You're just trying to confuse me aren't you
