I know it's in common misuse as a phrase, but that does not mean you should misuse it. Octane is the burny bit in petrol so is not very applicable to cycle couriers riding fast and doing sweet skids.
If you join me in agreeing to stop using the phrase, others will too and together we can change the world.
