Isomers of octane
Why are they good as car fuels?
Sorry for posting this like 3 times didn't know where it was supposed to go :/

While since i covered this topic, but i assume since the isomers have the potential to be highly branched the effects of auto-ignition will be reduced(increasing efficiency for petrol engines).
This is a negative effect for diesel.
This is a negative effect for diesel.
as less energy is required to break the bonds, basically they combusted easier 
More volatile, less tendancy to pre-ignite and SHEDLIFE - it's energy to OVERCOME intermolecular forces not BREAK bonds
