Please one and all, especially Butch, accept my apology for my own misunderstanding of octane. Appears I've been in the right Church, wrong pew myself, for all of my adult life. Well - there's no tooth fairy either. And, Nellie, you are very gracious to inform us of the particulars which are well-confirmed. However, I've been a personal witness to considerably improved cranking performance and gasoline mileage on many personal vehicles after slightly advancing the ignition timing. Also, I have always correctly known that higher octane fuels gain in "uniformity" of combustion. Unfortunately, I appended my understanding to include "rapidity," and higher energy content, and these are my significant errors. Albeit the results of irregular and incomplete combustion can have the "same effect as if the combustion was slower," since an incomplete combustion is never finished and therefore by definition "slower." Thank you for my new information. RKS
