(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The evidence has to be given for the octane rating is not a measure of the energy content of a gasoline.

Concept introduction:

Octane rating or octane number:

It is a measurement of the performance or quality of gasoline. If the octane rating is high, the fuel burns within the engine of a vehicle is better.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The importance of octane ratings in measure a fuel’s ability to minimize or prevent engine knocking has to be explained.

Concept introduction:

Octane rating or octane number:

It is a measurement of the performance or quality of gasoline. If the octane rating is high, the fuel burns within the engine of a vehicle is better.

(c)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The reason has to be explained for the higher octane blend is more cost than lower octane.

Concept introduction:

Octane rating or octane number:

It is a measurement of the performance or quality of gasoline. If the octane rating is high, the fuel burns within the engine of a vehicle is better.

(d)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The fuel contains oxygenates or not has to be identified when the octane rating of 91 (premium gasoline).

Concept introduction:

Octane rating or octane number:

It is a measurement of the performance or quality of gasoline. If the octane rating is high, the fuel burns within the engine of a vehicle is better.
