@@123antknee From what I understand, most octane boosters are not as effective as the base gasoline they are designed to be added to. From what I’ve seen, many of the boosters cost anything from $4.00 per bottle on the low end to 35.00 on the higher end of things. Usually they only treat between 10-20 gallons for a bottle. Additionally, many manufacturers claim they increase the octane by points, which is different than what the (r+m)/2 method calculates it at. It is difficult to determine the exact amount of additive needed to increase from 87 or 89 to 91+ with many of the octane boosters boasting increases of 7 points, roughly equating to an increase of 0.7 on the (r+m)/2 scale. Thanks for sharing and watching.

That assumes the car can take advantage of 93. Yeah it probably could, but usually the wording is premium recommended and if you dig into the owner's manual it may say 91 octane or higher. But that doesn't mean it can automatically take advantage of like 97 octane
if your car is asking 91, its unlikely that its designed to take advantage of the extra octane you get if you go full 93. higher does not necessarily mean better.
I see what you're trying to do...
How about an Octane Booster?

this is retarbed. 93 is better than 91 if your engine needs 91 minimum

It can’t hurt you engine by running 93. Personal preference I guess but I would rather run 93 than 91
@@TurquoiseTurkey I agree. Couldn’t hurt using it. Thanks for watching.
