Study by Esso Research Ltd, England, shows that substitution of TML for TEL in fuels having overhead fractions of low octane quality results in improvement in road antiknock behavior; octane distribution is characterized by variable of fuel called "Delta R" found to predict observed low speed advantage for TML, which is more pronounced in European than in American cars; this is probably reflection of increased tendency toward fuel segregation by cars with manual transmissions.
