Processing flexibility in U.S. refineries to increase gasoline pool octane may be limited to two numbers more than present with existing or known technology. The fact that the industry has met more than 98% of the challenge of lead phasedown has lead to the assumption that pool octane quality will be adequate to meet future demand and composition requirements. A study of gasoline pool composition from 1979 to 1993 was conducted and show that both grade-mix composition and volume demand have distinct boundaries.
