- THERE are four subjects to consider in determining the question of antiknock value of post-war gasolines:
-
1.
How new wartime refinery equipment, now used for making aviation fuel, will be used to make motor gasoline.
-
2.
The possible variations in chemical composition of gasolines, and the effect of such variations on the road antiknock behavior of the gasolines.
-
3.
The effect of possible variations in engine and vehicle design on the antiknock ratings of the gasolines.
-
4.
The probable laboratory octane values of post-war gasolines to be used as the “convenient” means of expressing fuel antiknock quality for refinery control.
