Octane is another, and cetane number is related to cetane in the same way that octane number is related to octane.
We don't burn gasoline that is 87% octane. We *certainly* don't buy gasoline that is 110% octane at the track.

hmmm, off the subject, kinda. I wouldnt burn anything OVER 87 octane in a vehicle that didnt call for it, but in my racecar, I wouldnt let pump gas see the inside of my gas can. I would be afraid to see what 110 did to my street car though. (not the benz)
