Octane booster

For those of us that have 1000 razor XP's or vehicles that use 93 octane try using octane booster instead of paying the 1 dollar
a gallon more over regular.Have tried it in a Toyota Avalon and various 4 wheelers and a Razor,seems to bring the mileage and performance from regular up to premium levels,we use the Lucas brand,found it as cheap as $8 abottle and 1 bottle will treat
25 gallons,every dollar saved helps at my economic level.

In Tucson AZ I had a 1991 Ford Chateau van with a 460 engine, it did not like cheap fuel, it demanded the most expensive! The engine's complaints sounded a lot like a ball mill. I found that a pint of isopropyl alcohol would slake the monster's thirst and quite the ball mill. Alcohol is a octane booster.

But does it reduce the destructive nature of ethanol?

The only time that I had a problem with alcohol was with my Stihl weed eater, I purchased the wrong fuel. The problem was solved with SuperGlue, per the carburetors manufactures instructions.
