doesnt do much really mate its just like a fuel aditive really say if you but 97ron fuel in your car would make it up to 99ron think thats right some will correct me if im wrong

oh right, just my mechanic told me to go to millers oil in leicester, and buy a can and mix it with a full tank of petrol and you can tell the difference in the speed of the car. he said track cars use it.

If you have your vehicle specifically mapped to run on the higher octane mix then yes, power gain to be had. Just adding it is a waste of money

Shaun

Depending on what "Octane Booster" you use, it is possible to have your car remapped to take advantage of the extra ignition that could be applied, due to the higher octane level of the fuel.

You mechanic was right in the truest sense.

There was a lab test run 5th gear/top gear on the best one years ago out of 5 diff bottles 1 lost power 3 increased by 1/2 a bhp and the last gave 1.5hp i think(the test were poor just cant remember the exact fig)

methanol is the best octane booster you can get pricewise per gain, go that route
