Toluene is great, but it goes up in price as oil prices climb. I'm fortunate enough to have blue flame sunoco dealer about 3 miles from my house, I can get 112 octane gas for 7.80 a gallon if I want to run that map.

Settle..... 108Octane is a brand of octane booster... no need to go off on a tangent.

I was reading about that the mmt stuff I don't know but when I head to the store I am going to read the back before I buy I wish we had decent gas out here in cali
STP in the orange bottle works awesome. When i was gettin tuned the first time i was the only one that tuned like 93 when everyone else tuned like 91. So i think it works very well IMO

I am diggin the quicker spool up, stronger power band & smoother idle. I still managed 20.6 mpg while being DRIVEN.Dave
back from the dead
here is my problem. I just had my ECU dynoflashed for 92 and my damn gas station (and the rest in my area) droped to 91. Reading up on some of these articles and threads and then looking at the bottles, my question is this. For anyone using these octane boosters, how often do you poor them in your tank? The bottle i looked at before i started this post said use one bottle with something like 15 refills in the tank??? Does that seem right to anyone? Also, will it really help? I'd like to get back to 93 like we had in the summer.
