I went and picked up some octane booster/fuel cleaner kit. I ran it w/ regular gas I noticed a slight difference in performance, it didn't hesitate throughout the gears, and got up to 60 slightly a bit quicker.
But my question is could this be harmful to my engine If I kept using it? my engine has 96,000 miles on it, and was only going to plan to use after every oil change. So should I continue to use it or not? |

Wasn't claiming ethanol will improve the power in a stock engine with no probs. It is great for high comp or turbo enginges though. I had an older car that I ran 5% ethanol in and it improved the idle, kept the plugs cleaner and gave me about a 5-10% increase in mileage.
