My question is , is it safe. Does it work ? I know that when you go to the pump, all fuel is suppose to be 87 Octane and they put additives in it to bump the octane rating.
Kind of...


Depending on your initial octane, how much, and how much you're adding will obviously change the octane boost

It is KINDA safe, and it's the ONLY "octane booster" that ACTUALLY boosts octane.
Some people say it burns the seals, some people report that it turns your spark plugs orange... I wouldn't run it every tank, just because its REALLY cost ineffective compared to E85
