The octane numbers of many pure compounds have been measured and reported in the Hterature. Probably the most comprehensive project was carried out under the auspices of the American Petroleum Institute (18). Table 2 Hsts RON and MON values for a number of representative compounds. Some aromatic compounds cannot be tested neat in the knock engine, so these are evaluated at levels of 20%, and the equivalent octane number is calculated. The values for oxygenates in Table 2 have been reported elsewhere (19). 

The octane number requirement (ONR) of a car is the octane number which causes barely audible, ie, trace knock when driven by a trained rater. The Coordinating Research Council (CRC), a research organi2ation funded joindy by the American Petroleum Institute (API) and the American Automobile Manufacturers Association (AAMA), has defined test procedures for measuring ONR. Each car is driven under a set of light and heavy accelerations until the most sensitive driving mode is determined. Then a series of fuels is mn in the car until trace knock is determined. Each year, CRC members measure ONR of more than 100 cars and pubHsh the results.
