Every now and then i pick up like a fuel cleaner/octane boost here and there jsut to help keep my injectors running clean and all the fuel system... here and there ill buy like th 5 $ ones... sumtimes the 8 $ ones... and ive seen some that where liek in the teens..... so i went on jegs and was looking and they have different ones... all rather pricey.... now in my opinion you get what you pay for.... but in this case would buying one of the liek 13 $ ones be better? like if you look on jegs they have various different types... Lucas/redline/permatex/nx express.... but as i looked some state race offroad or street.. is there a big difference over the legal vrs street legal type stuff? liek its a fuel cleaner in all but i dont want to put something in that will hurt my motor.... heres what some of them say... like is this why its more money? and is it a waste of money? like does this effect performance at all?

lucas fuel cleaner is some badass stuff and comes in a skinny clear bottle and is kinda yellowish. Its only 4.xx per bottle and the p/n MIGHT be 10100... maybe i can't remember.

octane booters are a joke, there is no need to use octane booster b/c is really only boosts it up by .10 so 93 with octane booster would be 93.1. So just buy good gas and call it good. I don't feel like explaining the whole octance thing so we'll just leave it at that.

Yeah thats what i figured.. i run the 93 now sooo... i figured that should be good enough but ocasionally ill pick up the injecto cleaner and wha not....
