MMO, octane

[David Partridge <David_Partridge@domain.elided>]

All,
I'm with Joe on this one, MMO is a "light oil" like "kerosene" which is I
believe, the main ingredient in many octane boosters.
Perhaps the author of this "prophecy" has his nuts and his bolts mixed up? 
My spider gets MMO several times a year with nary a ping on our midwest,
non-oxygenated, 91 octane "Hot Rod" gas.
She doesn't like the standard 92 octane oxygenated premium though, MMO or
not.

How does that work?  This guy is saying the MMO will be more likely 
to combust under compression than gasoline?
