Not worth it, and it won't get the job done.

A bottle of octane booster will raise your octane by about .8 on a tank of gas.
So putting regular (87 octane) in and adding a bottle of that will put you right around 87.8.

Just stick with premium, done and done.

Very much true. Octane booster does NOTHING for cars and the amount of fuel that we use.

The price of the booster does not even begin to equate to the price difference in premium. If it did EVERYONE would do that.

Just put what is recommended. If you REALLY can't afford the correct fuel, remove the supercharger pulley from your car and drive without boost.
