[3] Research Octane Number (RON) is a quantitative measure of the maximum compression ratio at which petrol can be used in an engine without some of the mixture self igniting in the engine. Self ignition leads to excess fuel consumption and an increase in Volatile Organic Compound and Carbon Monoxide emissions.
[4] Vapour pressure is a measure of the propensity of the fuel to evaporate. It is regulated in summer because temperatures at that time of year can lead to high emissions of Volatile Organic Compounds, which are a precursor of ground level ozone. Exceedances will result in increased Volatile Organic Compound emissions.
[5] The distillation parameter establishes the proportion of the fuel that evaporates at 100Ú[6]C and 150Ú[7]C. It limits the range of lighter components that can be blended in the petrol. Exceedances could lead to vapour locks and driveability problems.
[8] See http://ec.europa.eu/environment/air/transport/pdf/fqm_summary_20el that evaporates at 100˚C and 150˚C. It limits the range of lighter components that can be blended in the petrol. Exceedances could lead to vapour locks and driveability problems.
