Yeah, I was kidding about that. I wondered about the effects of octane booster on emissions parts. I sure wish we could get 93 octane here, though, instead of 91 - the little extra would be nice.

That was my favorite part about moving to the midwest. Now i just wish I could have the hills of Cali with the 93 octane gas out here

i would think one can's effect would be negligable but i'm no freakin' scientist . i do know that in school our instructor on carburators said octane boost was a gimmick . fwiw.
