Gosh I could spend alnight dealing with your inaccuracies and misinformation. You did not actually read any of that link I provided from Bob is the Oil guy did you?

this is from a person who works in the gasoline business
The way that it was explained to me is as follows: Long chain hydrocarbon molecules are more more difficult to break apart. This improves their ability to resist detonation, which improves octane ratings. Short chain hydrocarbons break apart easily, yielding less stability and lower octane ratings. Anyway, I am quite possibly remembering this wrong, but I believe the above to be true.
As for the gasoline that we manufacture at the refinery where I work, octane is controlled at the plant and not the tanker loading rack. There is no magic "foo-foo" juice that is added to gasoline to improve the octane rating of gasoline as it is being loaded into tanker trucks for delivery that I know of. Octane "improvers" are added at the refinery during the gasoline blending process from what I have been told. Perhaps this is where the confusion comes from?
Agreed, you can adulterate a higher grade fuel down to a lower grade, but you can't additize a lower grade motor fuel into a higher grade. The additive packages added at the terminal are enhancements to whatever the base fuel grade may be, and if the additive package is not sufficiently distinctive, markers may also be added that allow the majors to be able to sample a station's tanks to prove their gas is or is not being sold under their brand.
I sell generic unleaded and premium at my stations, but I won't use it in my cars - they get Shell V-Power only.
that is from a freakin chemist in the business.

Ok then chemical, mechanical, and civil engineers and even some published PhD professors in the field. People with more education in this then you have even been on this planet.

there are numerous threads that deal with the value of it. Stop getting your panties in a wad....

Yeah I dynoed with V-Power at 311 foot lbs of torque within like 10 of where you were with all your supper dupper tuning.

our knock sensors are sensitive and picked up an oil plate rattle as knock on my car.

this is just wrong read the information from the people who process Shell V Power and then come back to this statement. Please.
