You could go ahead and get the impression that it is always best
to drive with 100-octane fuel. This is not true. Every
gasoline-operated engine is adjusted to a specific type of gasoline.
What does the octane number at the gas pump mean? Listen to the
answer of our Chemical Reporter.

In entertaining weekly episodes our Chemical Reporter answers
questions on Chemistry in our everyday life.
