Results of series of tests on high compression test engine arranged to permit operation at compression ratios from 6/1 to 12/1; behavior of variety of experimental and commercial gasolines was studied over this range of compression ratios; bhp gains as high as 26% resulted when compression ratio was increased from 6/1 to 12/1; similar gains in fuel economy resulted.
