Relationship between stable gasoline saturated vapor pressure and octane number: Is a higher saturated vapor pressure associated with a higher octane number?
The saturated vapor pressure of gasoline is essentially a thermodynamic property of the material, and it has no inherent connection to the octane rating of gasoline; the octane rating refers instead to the resistance of gasoline against knocking, that is, the tendency to experience detonation during ignition and combustion.
A high vapor pressure indicates the presence of C4 high-octane components in the gasoline, which is why the octane rating increases
The peak value of saturated vapor pressure has no relation to octane rating. What primarily affects saturated vapor pressure is C4, which is controlled by a stabilizer tower; whereas octane rating is influenced by olefins, as well as catalyst activity, reaction temperature, and reaction time. Therefore, the two are not related to each other
Amount determines performance; trace amounts of C4 affect vapor pressure, but they provide little benefit to the overall octane rating of gasoline.

There isn’t a very direct relationship; vapor pressure indicates the evaporation properties of a fuel, but the components responsible for high octane ratings in gasoline are those with 6 carbon atoms or fewer
I can only say that some relatively restructured components actually have a higher octane rating, while the key component for vapor pressure is the C4 component; you should know the conclusion by now. :P
What you said is incorrect; a higher saturated vapor pressure means a higher octane rating. For every 20-unit increase in saturated vapor pressure, the octane rating increases by 0.6 units. However, in the blending of oils, the saturated vapor pressure should not be too high, as too high a value leads to easier volatility, a lower initial boiling point, and potential gas blockages when the oil enters the engine
Butane dissolved in oil products can increase the octane rating
