PKRWUD: That's one of the most down to earth, easy to understand explanations I've ever heard about octane. I've read all the 'technical' explanations and never quite put it all together before. I've understood it well enough to select the appropriate fuel for my vehichles, but never knew enough to be able to explain it to anybody else.
THANKS.

For future reference, oxygen by itself is nonflammable. For a simple proof of this, try to light an oxy-acetylene torch without the gas turned on.

Kind of makes the NOS explosion on the F&F a little lame, huh?

Peace
