Since 2013, the share of premium gasoline in total motor gasoline sales in the US has steadily increased to 11.3% The octane rating of gasoline is an indicator of its resistance to spontaneous combustion. Use of higher-octane gasoline can offset the increased risk of engine knock caused by increasing engine compression.
