>>The octane number of any gasoline is the percentage by volume of octane in the octane/heptane mixture that just matches the gasoline in antiknock quality<<

This pretty much tells you that something has to be different. Since 'percentage by volume of octane in the octane/heptane mixture' is limited to a 100% octane volume, you get a maximum 100 octane rating using this system. Of course you can get fuel with a greater than 100 octane rating so...
