I just want to voice my opinion once more that TORCO is the ONLY octane booster I would use and recommend. At the shop, we were able to put race gas tunes, on cars running pump gas with a can of TORCO, with NO KNOCK...

torco would put me at 95 octane for about the same price.... AND i can carry the additive easily in the trunk.. i'd rather not carry gas cans.

I'll look into the Lucas as well... may be more readily available
But do you need a full tank? You can try the torco, but im my experience with them, they dont really work. Id like to know if it does, im not callin BS, im just saying, if anybody could show how many bottles its takes etc, and confirm the octane points that would be cool.

yes my intentions are to run around a 95 octane all the time.. so i'd be adding this in at every fillup, im trying to prevent grenading my motor if i get a sh1tty tank of gas and its like 87 octane or something... at least then with the additiive it'll be 91

From what I was told when Torco had there leaded version of the octane booster it really worked but the new unleaded doesn't.
