As I understand it, lower boiling fractions, like natural gas, gasoline*, kerosene, diesel fuel, and maybe some others, have a simple range of hydrocarbons, some with a few branches in their composition.
But higher boiling fractions, become very complicated, very quickly, with multiple branches, and aliphatic and aromatic rings. You won't succeed in attempting to apply the same rules to the latter group as was applied to the first group.
*When I say gasoline, I mean the fraction of crude oil distillation called gasoline, basically hexanes through octanes, not the stuff that goes in an automobiles gas tank, which is a diverse mixture with a variety of properties.
