   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.

   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).

   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.

   How much does octane cost?

   • Octane values have increased from about 1 $/RON-b to 2.75 $/ RON-b as of 2017 (Figure 57, blue line represents octane cost while the red dashed line represents the crude cost). Unlike the U.S (Section 6.5, Figure 29), octane costs have not dropped back down to 2011 levels.

   What is a gasoline octane rating?

   • The gasoline octane rating measures its ability to withstand pre-ignition during compression in an engine cylinder. Gasoline octane is a critical factor in engine design. Engine performance and efficiency increase with increasing compression ratio. Engines with higher compression ratios require gasolines with higher octane ratings.

   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.

   Jul 17, 2007 · Octane, or iso-octane is a measure of how much compression the fuel-air mixture will stand before it explodes (pinging) instead of burning, as it must in an internal combustion engine.
