Which Gasoline Octane Grade Brand Wins?

This video compares gasoline octane grades (87, 91 no ethanol, 91 with ethanol, and 93) rather than branded products in the usual sense; the 93 octane's brand name (Amaco/Yamaco Gold in the transcript) could not be resolved against a description product list since the description only lists ancillary equipment (fuel cans, ethanol tester), not the fuel brands, so it is kept as a phonetic guess. On raw acceleration and post timing advance torque numbers, the three higher octane fuels (both 91s and the 93) essentially tied with each other and edged out the 87 octane by a small, consistent margin (about three tenths of a second per acceleration pass); fuel efficiency across all four octanes was within about 20 seconds of each other and explicitly called too close to call by the narrator. Given this, no single octane is declared an outright winner; instead the narrator gives a practical purchase recommendation to buy the cheaper 87 octane unless a vehicle specifically requires higher octane, which is captured here as budgetPick rather than forcing a winner onto the small performance differences. One number required an unambiguous correction: the 87 octane's first post timing advance pass is transcribed as '71.84 seconds,' which is clearly a caption glitch (an inserted extra digit) since the surrounding math only works if the value is 7.84 seconds (the narrator's own stated three pass average of 7.79 seconds, and the final recap's explicit '87's fastest pass was 7.74 seconds' for the third pass, both confirm this). The 93 octane's post timing advance torque test was explicitly discarded on camera by the narrator due to a slipping, not fully warmed up drive belt, not a caption or data gap.
