Could the experienced folks here explain to me what “heavy-duty gasoline” is?”

Hello everyone, Happy New Year! Could you please explain the differences between etherified gasoline, aromatized gasoline, heavy-catalyzed gasoline, and heavy-processed gasoline? Thank you all
Gasoline can be classified into various types based on its source, including straight-run gasoline, catalytic cracking gasoline, thermal cracking gasoline, reformed gasoline, coker gasoline, alkylated gasoline, isomerized gasoline, aromatized gasoline, etherified gasoline, and blended gasoline. Straight-run gasoline, especially that derived from paraffinic crude oils, has the lowest octane rating, generally ranging from 40 to 60 ； Catalytic cracking gasoline contains a high amount of aromatic hydrocarbons and olefins, and generally has a high octane rating ； The main components of alkylated gasoline are highly branched isoparaffins, which have a very high octane rating ； Etherified gasoline has a very high octane rating and is generally used as a blending component for gasoline. Catalytically reformed gasoline also has a high octane rating, and it is used together with catalytically cracked gasoline to formulate motor gasoline.
Differences between etherified gasoline, aromatized gasoline, heavy catalyzed gasoline, and heavy refined gasoline: Etherified gasoline is gasoline to which MTBE is added to improve its octane rating； Aromatized gasoline refers to gasoline produced through reforming processes ； Heavy catalytic gasoline refers to gasoline produced through the catalytic processing of heavy oil ； Heavy-duty gasoline refers to gasoline with a final boiling point of 180 to 220 degrees. What I said may not be entirely accurate; it’s just for your reference.
Thank you, I’ve learned a lot; I’m extremely grateful
