Any isomeric paraffin hydrocarbon with the formula C8H18, found in petroleum, used as a fuel and solvent.
With highway gas you usually have the choices of 87, 89 and 92 or thereabouts at the pump. High octane fuels will have a higher number such as cam2 which is 110.
When you pull up to the pump and the numbers on the pump are 87, 89 and 92 octane, it's how many hydrocarbons are in the fuel.

Apr 27 Word of the Day
A horoscope so bad that it strikes fear into the heart of the reader, rendering them unable take action or make a decision on anything or to even leave the house. This is caused by a paralyzing fear that those actions or decisions may cause the predictions to come true.
After reading "There is a lot of uncertainty around financial transactions and investments right now, and the wrong decision could result in dire consequences" in his daily Horrorscope, Edward climbed back into bed, pulled the sheets over his head and remained there for the rest of the day.

Edward only had enough gas in his car to get to the gas station but was not sure if he had enough money in his account to pay for gas. His cell phone service had been cut off because his payments were in arrears, and since the only way he could be sure he had enough money (to pay for gas) would be to call the bank, he felt it best to hide in bed and hope his horoscope for tomorrow was more positive.

Though there is a scientific definition for this word, it can be used in everyday talk. It describes anything that may be considered as high-powered, unstoppable, or near impossible to defend. Usually used when referring to sports but can be used with other topics as well.

A Transformer from the Generation 1 era of the franchise. He is a Decepticon triple changer, usually referred to as Tankor in the later years of the Transformers franchise.

He is the Decepticon fueler, transforming into a tanker truck and a jumbo jet. In the Transformers comics, and as described in his toy bio, Octane is a rather mean and dishonest character, very hesitantly offering up any fuel he's stolen from gas stations or other tankers to his starving Decepticon peers and sending anyone he wishes crashing and burning in any direction.
In the Transformers cartoon, however, he is portrayed as a more likable, funny, and even friendly character. Fangirls know him for his enjoyable personality and his good looks. He undoubtedly remains a selfish character at times, though.
