We all heard about it but it's nice that you heard about it too great !! but one can't use octane boosters every time day after day year after year. -
If Octane Boosters were the answer to all the low octane fuels then people would have mixed it with ethanol and have used it instead of expensive petrol!Speak Less,Speak Wise!
Sarcasm is my automatic response to stupidity.

Yup.........and the best among them is Ethanol.Originally posted by MT01 View Post
It is a recommended octane booster of many OEMs.
Some fascinating facts are :
The US now uses more than 15 billion gallons of cleaner, ethanol-blended petrol a year, totalling 12% of fuel sales in the US. Most of it is a 10% blend, but 85% and even 95% blends are now being tested.
Ethanol blends are increasingly used in South Africa, while Brazil, the world leader, produces four billion gallons of ethanol a year: all Brazilian fuel contains ethanol, much of it 100% ethanol (engines can be designed to run on 100% ethanol).
Chrysler, Ford, and General Motors all recommend ethanol fuels, and nearly every car manufacturer in the world approves ethanol blends in their warranty coverage.
Over two trillion miles have been driven on ethanol-blended fuels since 1980.And these includes the miles of Veyron, Red Victor at times.
Even the Rolls Royce Ghost rolls on unleaded 91 well,but that would be for its low compression ratio.Originally posted by svjhonda View Post
However for likes of R8 and Gallardo there is always dependency on Octane boosting for smoothening things.
After all, as Old Fox says, riding habits makes a lot of difference when there is a shortage of cleaner and good fuel, even my bike agrees with that.Last edited by MACH50; 09-11-2011, 11:39 PM.Hell's Angel

Ethanol blended Petrol with same or higher Octane rating is not preferred due to the moisture absorbing nature due to the presence of Ethanol.....The Ethanol blended petrol actually losses the Octane rating one or two weeks as it keeps absorbing moisture.....
Gasoline Octane and E10 Ethanol Blend Fuels
The moisture can also lead to rusting inside engine & Petrol tank,less FE etc.

Okay I take that Ethanol as Octane Booster is a Government favored scam in the US of A and it has been perpetuated by manufacturers to earn commision and drive biz high from sale of new engine parts or cars when the ethanol poisoned vehicle dies.Originally posted by psr View Post
But that doesn't mean Octane Booster is not there..........if not Ethanol, then Toluene........what say about it ??????
