theres directions on the back. i will check on my case i have in garage for ya. if you put in the whole bottle it bumps a tank of 92 up to like 96 or something. if you are just trying to make sure it is a safe 91 then you would only have to add a little bit to each tank. you might get 4 or so fill ups to a bottle.

Sorry, meant to say racing "unleaded" fuel, 100 octane...about $6 per gallon here...can mix with the 91 octane & you'll have much better octane then using the booster...

Octane booster is a joke. Dont buy in to that. Nothing replaces good fuel. Call cosby oil. You can get 100 octane out of the pump. They will send you a bill. . Get a better tune for 91. Who is your mechanic? You have nothing more done to your car than I have?Why not 91 my car runs just fine on it.

my cars in the shop right now, blower swap... my mechanic is GTR motorsports (featured in every other MMFF) so i trust their advice.

I dont want 100 octane, my cars only going to be tuned for 91 but im worried that if i get a bad tank it'll screw me up, so im pretty much just looking for a worry free additive to ensure that im not running anything LESS than 91

torco works just fine. do you know what you are talking about? 100 unleaded would cost him close to $6 a gallon. i know. i get 110 at the pump since i run 110 almost exclusivly and 100 unleaded is as much or more than the 110 i am getting for $6.35. if all he is doing is looking to be safe against a bad tank of gas it would be silly to run 100.
