Default Octane Booster

Does anyone reguarly use a octane booster to overcome the occasional poor supply of v power or 99.

Thinking of getting one to keep handy in the car.

Can it do any damage and does the ECU like it?

Thanks

I know that Halfords do at least two ranges of products, both have one for road use and one for race use.

I had a look recently when we had the problem with the supply of V Power.

I now keep a couple of bottle of millers in the car after the last shortage of V power.

Millers or NF are pretty good, Millers you just chuck the bottle in with either 20 or 50 liters depending on which one you have and the NF you have to measure out.

No damage from use

I always carry a bottle of millers with me just in case, best to by a box of 10 and split it with someone works out a lot cheaper .

I always have NF Race Octane which is very good but is also quite expensive.
