Octane Booster--Good Idea?
Octane Booster--Good Idea?
Here in CA our premium fuel is only 91 octane whereas in other parts of the country it is 93-94. I was thinking of adding 1/4 bottle of octane booster to every full tank, good idea or not? I'd like to reiterate that I don't intend or expect to take a tenth of my 1/4 times. I'd just like to maintain the life and virility of the G in California since premium fuel here is more like mid-grade fuel in other states.

Nope don't need it! 91 is all you need! Infiniti/Nissan has a $hit-fit with additives!

Re: Octane Booster--Good Idea?
I'm wondering that myself. :> I think it's because of California's strict emissions standards. The gasoline sold here is full of crap that will lower emissions and as a result lower octane rating.
Re: Octane Booster--Good Idea?
oic... u guys get screwed when it comes to cars.... i wanna move to some state with no emmissions laws and huge long stretches of country high way and twisties where all g's can live freely with 100 octane in their tanks and smiles on their owners faces.

Re: Octane Booster--Good Idea?
Be careful with anything other than gasoline that you put in the fuel tank. It can really mess with O<sub>2</sub> sensors.
I personally wouldn't put octane boost in. Not necessary, and may be harmful.

Re: Octane Booster--Good Idea?
Florida we have 93 and in my county, Hillsborough (Tampa) we have NO emissions regulations. Yeeha.
Our sacrifice is you have to drive to north florida/south georgia to drive on a road with curves. Boring roads here otherwise.
