I am right is assuming that the higher the octane rating is, the higher the combustion threshold, and the more power that can be achieved?
I was quoting another individual who worked for an oil company so I can't say firsthand, however.....

from reading his words it appears to me that their is a diff between 87 and 93 octane but it is all caused by the additives put in at the final stage. That's the way I read it anyway...
