Don't be afraid to be wrong. Your post is illogical anyway, the Octane rating of a motor fuel is governed by the amount of octane-boosting additive to the base petroleum.
In the past we used tetra-ethyl lead, long since outlawed and replaced mainly by MTBE, though health concerns because of the way it got into water systems led to its discontinuance.  Today's common oxygen boosters are BTEX and, increasingly, Ethanol.
