I would think it would work well in any engine that has a lean burn mode, I don't know who made lean burn mode engines except honda. This would be a cheaper way also for cars that do need higher octane fuels, because they would be able to use the cheaper and more energy dense lower octane fuels and then add the booster. Might not help much maybe a mile or 3 because of the increased energy density of the lower octane fuels and the ability to have the engine advance the ignition slightly and gain from the enhanced burn. Maybe I am full of hot air and misinformation, but this is how it was explained to me. It seems to help with retaining power while in lean burn.
