Abstract
Enhanced octane is one route to fuels differentiation where associated vehicle
performance benefits are generally measured under controlled wide-open throttle
tests on a chassis dynamometer. The combined availabilities of relevant ECU data
via OBD and telematic loggers present new opportunities to assess such fuel
benefits on the road in normal real-world driving environments. A novel
methodology is described in this paper which utilised the remote logging of key
engine EOBD data from a fleet trial and the results successfully demonstrated
significant octane-derived benefits in many vehicles throughout normal
mixed-roads driving. The availability and the reliability of telematic loggers
mean that the method could be implemented in a scalable way as a complementary
approach in addition to conventional laboratory vehicle testing.
