100 octane gasoline/Petrol/Benzin/L'essence…whatever your country calls it… is ANY gasoline/petrol which has a detonation resistance equivalent to pure (100%) iso-octane.

That's all it is.

ISO octane was given the number 100 and n-heptane was given the number Zero, in 1927, by a researcher named Graham Edgar, whilst he was working ...
... for the Ethyl Company which marketed Tetra Ethyl Lead… used to increase the anti-knock capacity of any gasoline. He was looking for a way to compare the anti-knock rating of different gasoline mixtures.

ISO octane and n-heptane are not the highest or lowest resistance substances, but they have similar physical properties So various mixtures of the two will not skew the results in the test engines used to compare different gasoline mixtures.

Your gasoline/petrol sample does not have to contain ANY iso-octane or n-heptane, it just has to have the same anti-knock rating as a given mixture of iso-octane and n-heptane.

These days it's perfectly possible to have octane numbers higher than 100, just by extrapolating from the test fuels performance compared to that of pure iso-octane.
