Question Octane booster, and from where?

Is Millers about the best? Or are there no differences?

And where's the cheapest/best place to buy?

Thanks in advance,

Alcazar

Nitrous Formula is the Daddy. This doesnt mean that Millers is poor, far from it; but NF is better. 1ml/1cc per litre of 98RON fuel will give you 100RON; making it cheaper too I believe.

This is true, but still use millers as its easier just to chuck a bottle in rather than measure out how much i need
Never had any problems with millers either (10=30 quid)

Is it safe to use 95 ron fuel with octane boost for all of the time?

Should be fine, depending on what you're using and what quanities it should be making 95ron into super unleaded.

Personally use Optimax and 75ml of NF every fill from 3/4 empty.

If you read the bottle on NF race formular it sasy that the 1ml will help with valve seat protection, but for a full treatment use the whole bottle in the tank, makes it more expensive than Millers even if using half a bottle of NF for a tank.

planning to use bog basic unleaded with additave as I live over 20 miles from the nearest Optimax pump.

Will this kill it over time or what?
