Correct, those octane booster things are all hyped up bullshit. I will admit when i was younger i thought they worked, but after joining this site, i know better. You want higher octane? Buy some 100 Unleaded.

I agree with this statement. Octane booster is a waste on money. Buy a gallon of race gas and mix it with your regular fuel. There is your octand booster, or run race gas all together.

i have found most all octane booster to be **** because they tell you they will boost 20 points. But it takes 10 points to raise the octane 1 number. There is one pretty legit one that they sell at MTI its called octanium. It will boost 5 gallons up to 100octane . And it it comes out to be cheaper if you buy 5 premium unleaded and ad the booster than to buy 5 gallons of racing gas

I have had experiences with regular gas with octane booster and race gas or race gas mixed with regular gas and I trust the race gas mixed the LEAST. You have no idea of how it is mixing. I have done test's myself and they are never the same. My suggestion would be to run a street tune with pump gas or run a race tune with race gas. Mixing is not a good idea to me. I found out the hard way, a $8,000 dollar hard way.

I have heard of this also and everyone I know says its great but its like 18 bucks a bottle. It might be worth a shot though. Has anyone ever used it on here?

yea it is 17.99 a bottle. so you put 5 glalons of gass in your car for like 15 bucks then add that total comes to about 33 bucks. Go put 5 gallons of racing gas and have found it to be about 5 dollars more or so.. not much but i am a broke college student

I've got a 55 gallon drum of VP110 leaded in my garage right now and didn't want to have to buy a drum of unleaded. I hate having to go on the other side of town to get unleaded race gas and waste most of it on the drive home. Much easier to have a drum of it on hand. I was just looking for a simple way to gain a few points. NX has that booster on their ebay store for $3 a bottle.
just posted it in another thread...
TOULENE/ XYLENE MIX. turbo buick guys have been using it for years. it is a REAL octane booster. search it, get the chemicals, mix it up and enjoy your 100+ unleaded octane gas that you made for relatively cheap.
used it in my dsm years ago. could NOT get the thing to knock at all, 25psi ++ adding timing.
