Fuel Burn Rate Question Two scenarios:
1. 100 octane Sunoco pump gas
2. 91 octane pump gas with MMT-based octane boosters to get to 100
Will they have the same burn rate / flame-front speed? If not, which burns faster?

I think the question would be best answered by Sunoco directly, & if you get a burn rate per fuel I would like to see it.
From researching, it can vary, & is not necessarily octane dependent.
From their data, octane boosters, in general offer not much in the way of octane, so I do not know how much it will augment the propagation rate, if any.
