Data from 2 recent surveys on truck operating modes and truck fleet maintenance are presented and used to relate fuel properties to operating conditions; trucks in city operation run at part throttle most of time, with most full-throttle operation in acceleration modes; highway trucks spend large percentage of their time at high engine speeds in full-throttle, constant-speed operating modes interspersed with frequent accelerations and decelerations; data show that inadequate octane quality of gasolines contributes to preignition failures, especially when such gasolines are used in combination with some types of lubricating oils.
