Wouldn't water increase octane rating, since higher octane fuel is harder to ignite wth compression and water wouldn't ignite at all?

I don't know what that tool measures but I wouldn't be surprised if it didn't account for water correctly.

Though since then I've read reports that this is not water but just bad gasoline.

My personal guess elsewhere in this thread was diesel, since it does have an extremely low octane number compared to gasoline and it would be easy for Russia's infrastructure to supply
