it had all the answers why did CA moved from 92 to 91 and why we dont get 93 and whats the difference as well.

 

so does octane booster actually work?

 

yup it does, u just have to choose the right kind

 

and that would be?

 

I use nos brand every once a while, big brand name???

 

ic...

 

octane boosters only boost it a percentage of a point. like 1 bottle will go from 91 to 91.1 and so forth.

 

Go to your Local Hardware store, get Some Xyleen, it'll boost it up nicely, just make sre you add an OZ of Marvals Mystery oil as you need lubricant in the mix.

That stuff has 117 Octane rating, you mix 2 gallons of that into 10 of 91 gas, you'll get like 95 octane

 

that was fun to read.

 

nope octane boosters do raise you boost atleat 1 full pint depanding on kind.infact i got one that raise it one4 points

 

using octaine boosters will destroy your oxygen sensors (i think the cat too) and make your spark plugs turn rustic in color...and will go bad eventually. you can use them on ****ty cars but don't put them in your evo motor. just get some unleaded race gas.

 

Read the labels.

10 octane points equals 1 octane number.

If the nosz brand adds 7 points its really changing your gas to 91.7

i dont use them to much anyways just on the way here

 

this is just a question relating to octane. anyway, in Japan, is it true that they can get 100 octane at the pump at most or all of their gas stations?

 

They get 100 octane ron which is a different measure than the united states. It is really much lower in our terms of octane.
