> ...trying to burn it as quickly as possible... No, the speed of burn in an internal combustion engine is not explosive: “Knocking (also knock, detonation, spark knock, pinging or pinking) in spark ignition internal combustion engines occurs when combustion of some of the air/fuel mixture in the cylinder does not result from propagation of the flame front ignited by the spark plug, but one or more pockets of air/fuel mixture explode outside the envelope of the normal combustion front.” - WP on engine knocking, which is undesirable and may damage the engine.
