PRESENT-DAY cars are not capitalizing on the continued efforts of the petroleum industry to provide better fuels, the authors believe. The wide differences found in the octane-number requirements of individual cylinders, plus the failure to obtain uniform mixture distribution from cylinder to cylinder without resorting to fuels of aviation-grade volatility have led them to reach this conclusion, they explain.The probability that significant reduction in the average antiknock requirements of cars might be effected without making any major changes in the engine is indicated by a survey of the technical literature, they point out. The extensive studies of ignition-system characteristics and gasoline-mixture distribution as affecting detonation reported in their paper bring out the following pertinent points: PRESENT-DAY cars are not capitalizing on the continued efforts of the petroleum industry to provide better fuels, the authors believe.
