A system (10) and method for optimizing the octane rating of fuel supplied to a vehicle (12). The system (10) utilizes information resulting from the occurrence of detonation to make recommendations regarding the fuel octane requirements of the vehicle (12) to the operator of the vehicle (12). The system (10) can reduce the occurrence of detonation by advising the operator of the vehicle (12) when a higher octane fuel is required (92). Also, unnecessary expense resulting from the use of an excessively high octane fuel can be avoided by advising the operator when a lower octane fuel should be used (96). |
