Petroleum Product
Remember, 'octane' specifically refers to a component in petroleum critical for engines.
Refineries process crude oil to increase the octane level of gasoline.
Engine Performance
'Octane' relates to engine efficiency; higher octane means better performance and less knocking.
Using high octane fuel improves my car's acceleration and overall performance.

'Octane' is key in preventing pre-ignition, where fuel combusts early, potentially damaging engines.
To avoid engine misfires, a mechanic might recommend higher octane fuel.
