I have been using octane booster in my gas now for about 3 weeks, the bottle says one ounce boosts normal gas to 108 octane. I have been putting about 3 ounces per 8 gallon fill which boosts to roughly 92-94. It doesnt seem to do much for my normal burning but when I get into lean burn it seems to help boost power. I am able to drive at faster speeds and at the same time keep the higher mileage I was getting running slower. I figure it is costing me about 8 cents per gallon which is cheaper than running the premium gas.
