There's a lot of nomenclatures that people completely overlook when it comes to vehicle ownership. Octane rating is one of the major ones... no station out there will ever give you an exact rating, they will just give you the minimum so they are legally covered, since they usually only have 2 tanks from which to provide fuel to mix to give you the octane rating you are buying at the pump.
