Message	(The mixture is compressed more) This increases the risk of detonation. Think diesels where the high compression IS the ignition source. This is why high compression engines require higher octane. Octane is a measure of the fuel's resistance to ignition. Higher octane allows more timing by resisting the detonation caused by the higher cylinder pressures from igniting the mixture sooner and the higher compression. (And Boost!) :-) KKROFFT Now occurs everywhere, simultaneously. But it doesn't have to be experienced the moment it happens.   Every now that ever was is still exactly when it was, when it was now.   Then, in terms of perception, is nothing more than all the nows that are no longer now.   Thus, the difference between now and then is when.    --The Waystoppers Users' Manual
