    As fastkatt said, most don't work. And for that reason, I have never used them. They just don't raise the octane that much compared to filling your car with better gas. Your car should run fine on 92 or 93 octane. And if you are going to go to the track and think you need the extra kick in the pants, then get some race fuel.

    yea 92-93 would be great but i only have 91 octane over here in california unless i go to certain gas stations then they have that 100 octane or whatever it is but that crap is tooooooooooo expensive .
