The octane is a measurement of the resistance to detonating (engine
knocking). High-performance engines typically have higher compression
and are therefore more prone to detonation, so they require higher
octane fuel. A lower-performance engine will not generally perform
better with high-octane fuel, since the compression ratio is fixed by
the engine design.
Over time fuel looses it octane rating (resistance to detonation). It is
generally not good to keep fuel for more than 3 to 6 months but it
depends what you expect out of the fuel when you actually burn it.
Whether you store it above or below is really insignificant. Some folks
try to put octane booster in to over come this but this is tricky
because folks don't really have the means to control over how much you
change the rating, just my 2 cents.
