Octane rating is simply a relative measure of how much octane (which is a chemical substance) is contained in gas. The only way to do it properly is to buy higher octane gas. But buying higher than what your manual recommends is completely pointless. Contrary to popular opinion, you will NOT get more power, you will NOT get better mileage, and it will not run your engine cleaner.
