Why is n-heptane liquid used in gasoline?

n-Heptane Liquid (CAS 142-82-5) is used in gasoline due to their excellent combustion properties as volatile hydrocarbons, but their primary function is as a benchmark for measuring fuel performance.

While it help enhance fuel volatility and energy content, its most notable role is as the low-quality reference point on the octane scale.
