Sorry man, but you're wrong. Adding an octane booster to any type of pump fuel will never hurt an engine, unless you add a crapload and you're running your car just off of octane booster. As long as you follow the directions, you won't hurt your engine or hinder performance. Not on pump fuel anyway. Octane boosters bump up octane by 7-10 points. This means .7 to 1 octane. So even if you load your car on 93 octane...and pour this in, you will only be running at 94 octane tops. Even if you get 98 octane...then 99 tops is what you get from octane booster. Higher octane fuel actually helps with engine efficiency and will help prevent knocking in your engine. This is why you add higher octane fuel when you use nitrous, forced induction, or when retarding your timing. Trust me, higher octane fuel won't hurt your car. -------------------- 95 Toyota Celica GT
