WIll this have any ill effects or havea ny harm to the engine? Its Just a thought since I was working on my car yesterday.
If my math is correct, for a 15.5 gal tank, you would need about 2 gallons of 114 octane booster to raise a tank of 89 octane regular to 92 octane. Hardly cost efficient. Around here, premium is about 20cents more per gal, so an extra $3.00.
