Nearly all octane boosters are a waste of money.


Think of it this way:

Why would you pay 4.00 for a small bottle when you can go buy 100LL (AV GAS) for 5.00/gallon.

(at least here in S. FL)


Say you have 1 gallon of 93 and 1 gallon of 100LL and you mix them both into 2 gallons your octane rating is now

(93+100)/2= 96.5 (this is with 1 gallon) Now imagine with a small can of "octane booster". Remember it takes quantity to make a difference.

what they said, 99% of off the shelf octane boosters are garbage marketing nonsense. the only octane additive ive ever used is torco. so dont waste your money, just buy 93 octanne.

Octane boosters will ruin your injectors after prolonged use. Just stay away from them period. If your running a boosted setup, just use Supreme fuel and you'll be good.
