Why you put somthing in your car that a "guy" gave is beyond me. Why is it that people here are always trying to mess with thier fuel. Plain and simple you get any more performance out of your car by running a higher octane (unless your mads require it ie, advanced timing, high compression). In the world of the automoblie, there are no magic pills or fuel boosters that are going to give you a power increase (except nitomethane and I suggest that NONE of you guys even consider messing with it).

Yeah bro, seriously not a smart move. You never know it could have been something that foams up and expands and cloggs your lines.
