There's lots of literature out there on fuels, just look.
I am a little puzzled by your reply Road Rage....are you a chemist?
In your response you are associating octane and burn rate to be the same when in fact they are different. Your other 2 points are well taken.
When determining burn rate, you use a distillation curve. This curve represents the amount of gas that evaporates for every 10 degree increase in temperature, until the fuel is all gone.
Books I have sourced my information from include, magazine articles and technical books. Nitrous Oxide book and a Smokey Yunick book.
