Lucas Octane Booster?
Lucas Octane Booster? About a month ago I wanted to throw in some injector cleaner but I ran across the Fuel booster section at the parts store. I read every bottle and decided to go with the Lucas Octane Booster. So after every fill Ive decided to put a bottle of this in every tank just to experiment. The first thing Ive noticed is that the engine idles significantly quieter, no knocking, pinging. Second Ive noticed better response on the throttle. And last, Ive gained about 20-30 extra miles to a tank of gas, city driving only.
What do you guys think of this stuff. Anyone use something different?? I would like to keep putting this in the tank before each refuel, but it could get pricey!! I just wanted to post this up and get some responses from the pros.

Here it is man. Check it out. Click on the spec sheet also to read up on more info. I like it, the car feels and sounds good all the way around. I really love no engine noise. Plus the MPG is like +2 or so.
Its a waste of money...use 91+ octane on an ls1 and you should be fine. You will make the most power running the lowest octane fuel that you can safely run, and almost all octane booster bought off the shelf will only raise the octane level a few points(like from 91 octane to 91.3 octane).
If you want some cheap octane booster, get some xylene or toulene, both can be found at chemical supply and paint places(hardware stores carry smaller bottles of it). The octane booster you buy at the parts store is usually just xylene in a flashy bottle selling for 5 times what its worth.
