The higher the compression ratio, the higher the power output and the higher the thermal efficiency.

The higher the octane number, the greater the resistance to preignition making a higher compression ratio possible.

Second, BMEP represents an average pressure while compression ratio is a way to describe peak cylinder pressure.
