Yeah if you find one that has any PROVEN effect on a 16 gallon tank of 91 pump gas let us know.

99% of these miracles in a bottle are nothing but Toluene and Zylene and they have a dramatically reduced effect on the 10+% ethanol fuels at the US pumps today.

Only thing 'I' know of to make a true 95+ octane (MON,, no one cares about RON or the 'pump' names),, Here's what I mix up for my 11.5:1 sand buggy.

5 gallons of VP C-12 (108 motor octane and 4.23g lead per gallon)
+ 10 gallons of Pump 91 (most is motor octane of less than 89)

mix well and enjoy with a frosty glass of iced-T



BTW here's some interesting reading on blending octane boosters with pump fuels. You have to make believe you understand the technical crap and the references to the Aussie fuels, but interesting stuff starting around page 16
