but doesn't those octane boosters have additives that are harmful?

You guy's paid 30K for your cars, put mod's into it , and willing to put your motor in jeopardy just to save 30 cents a gallon ???

Think about it !!! Not worth the savings .

They're not saving money... I swear to God I worry about the future of this country if no one knows any current events outside of a 100 sq. mile area around their home.

Everybody down here thinks that there is going to be a gas stoppage for 2-3 days. From talking to everybody at the gas station there is some kind of rumor going around about that.

Man, gas shortages... I've heard $5.50/gal in GA... this Hurricane has really caused a ton of trouble. I really feel for everyone directly affected by it. I'm sitting here watching the news about these long gas lines in the south, but much worse is the destruction that is the root cause of the gas lines... It's just incredible seeing the images on TV, I can't imagine living them. Kind of makes our little problems seem pretty weak...
