Octane rating of petrol can be imported by adding small amounts of certain compounds known as anti-knock compounds, eg, tetraethyl lead (TEL). Such petrol is known as leaded petrol. Now a days methyl tert-butylether (MTBE) is also used to increase octane rating because its oxygen helps gasoline to burn more completely and optimises the oxidation during combustion.
