Those boosters are snake oil. They claim to boost octane or cetane by 10 points or more. One would think that means from 93>103. False. If you look at the label then you would see that one point is defined as 1/100 of the (Ron+mon)/2 values that you see at the pump in the US. So 10 points moves it from 93 to 93.1.

Running kerosene/diesel 1/jet A can make an impact on the engine. Those are winter fuels that are supposed to burn colder. Much more impact than a booster of any kind.
