I believe It now

I have heard this ex plaination before about how octane really works. It sounded a bit hokey but I believe it now. Both times I've heard this explaination were years apart from each other. This explaination must be true if it survived this long. And BTW, I've never heard it explained any other way. Thanks for reminding me.
