US octane rating is the average of RON rating and MON rating. Research Octane Number (RON). RON is determined by running the fuel in a test engine with a variable compression ratio under controlled conditions. Motor Octane Number(MON), which is a better measure of how the fuel behaves when under load, as it is determined at 900 rpm engine speed, instead of the 600 rpm for RON.[1] MON testing uses a similar test engine to that used in RON testing, but with a preheated fuel mixture, higher engine speed, and variable ignition timing to further stress the fuel's knock resistance. Depending on the composition of the fuel, the MON of a modern gasoline will be about 8 to 10 points lower than the RON. When you go to the pump, you will see a yellow sticker showing that the rating is the average of the two.(in us) I think Europe is different.

What is 89 octane fuel?
it's a little better than 87 octane but not really high test gas, 91 and 93 octane is the high test.
How is the octane rating determined for gasoline?
The octane rating of gasoline is determined by conducting a test called the Research Octane Number (RON) test. This test measures the fuel's resistance to knocking or pinging in an engine. The higher the octane rating, the better the fuel is at resisting premature combustion, which can cause engine damage.
How do you measure octane in fuel?
with an octane mesurer
What was the purpose of adding lead to gasoline?
Lead was added to gasoline to inexpensively increase octane ratings and to also help reduce engine knocking.Increasing octane and reduce engine knocking are exactly the same thing, as the test method to measure octane of a fuel is to see when a standard engine begins knocking. The higher compression ratio the standard test engine can be operated at without knocking, the higher the octane of the fuel being tested.

Is there any formula for calculation of octane no?
Calculating octane is a compex process, but the formula is simple (the difficulty is getting the values from the manufacturer). Gasoline pumps typically post octane numbers as an average of two different values. Often you may see the octane rating quoted as (R+M)/2. One value is the research octane number (RON), which is determined with a test engine running at a low speed of 600 rpm. The other value is the motor octane number (MON), which is determined with a test engine running at a higher speed of 900 rpm. If, for example, a gasoline has an RON of 98 and a MON of 90, then the posted octane number would be the average of the two values or 94. See related links for information about computing octane numbers.
What is high octane fuel?
Regular unleaded fuel is 87 octane. High octane fuel is any fuel higher than regular. 89 and 91 octane being the most common the consumer can buy. High octane fuel is not needed in most cars and is a waste of money if your car does not need it. It provides no benefit whatsoever in a vehicle designed to run on Regular. Octane is only a measure of how well the fuel prevents pre-detonation in a high compression engine.
How do you separate a high grade racing fuel from normal fuel?
it is based on Octane levels, you have your standard 89,91,93 octane regular gas, and racing fuel is closer to 117 octane hope that helps
