   Octane costs and values are often described in terms of dollars per octane-barrel ($/AKI-b).21 To measure the cost of producing incremental octane, we calculate the cost of producing an incremental barrel of premium gasoline (CTP) by raising reformer severity (Figure 29, red and black lines).

   • Phase 1: Analysis of Gasoline Octane Costs
   • Phase 2: Future Gasoline Octane Scenarios

   In 2017, the U.S. average retail premium gasoline price was $0.50 per gallon (gal) more than the price of regular gasoline. The difference between premium gasoline and regular gasoline prices began to increase in approximately 2010. The cause of this price spread may be the result of a change in U.S. refinery operations or retail gasoline pricing d...

   In the United States, since approximately 2010, the price difference between regular gasoline with an octane rating, or Anti–Knock Index (AKI), of 87, and premium gasoline with an AKI of 91 has been increasing. Between 2010 and 2017, the U.S. average retail price difference between premium gasoline and regular gasoline doubled, from approximately $...

   This section examines the possible causes for the increasing premium–to–regular price spread related to the production of motor gasoline and its components at refineries in the United States. To that end, EIA retained Baker & O’Brien to analyze the factors and conditions at refineries that could result in the increasing spread. Baker & O’Brien’s an...

   In Phase 2, Baker & O’Brien analyzed whether or not the U.S. domestic refining industry would be capable of meeting higher octane demand if the octane requirements for retail gasoline increased. The scenario assumes that, beginning with model year 2023, all light–duty vehicles in the United States will require a minimum 95 research octane number (R...

   The carbon percentage of octane (C 8 H 18 ), a stand-in for gasoline, and hexadecane (C 16 H 34 ), a stand-in for diesel, are 84.2% and 85.0% respectively. The amount of carbon dioxide produced from gasoline and diesel and therefore the carbon pricing, are also both very similar on a mass basis.

   Feb 6, 2012 · The cost of making a premium racing fuel is higher than a pump gas that operates in a wider operating range of variables and less energy potential, but it’s no different than paying a slightly higher price for an aftermarket engine component that is tailor made for high performance.

   What Octane is premium gasoline?

   • Gasoline with a 95 RON typically will have a 90 to 91 AKI, meeting the EIA definition of premium. In most U.S. markets, the premium gasoline supplied is in the range of 91 AKI to 93 AKI. In European and some other markets, limited volumes of 98 RON gasoline are sold. These are similar in octane quality to a 93 AKI U.S. premium gasoline.

   Premium fuel is a higher octane fuel in the range of 91-94 octane. This compares to regular grade gasoline which is 87 octane. Higher octane fuel aims to provide greater fuel-burning stability to protect engines from the damage caused by engine knock –also known as abnormal combustion.
