[QUOTE="aoch88, post: 530642, member: 8491"] I heard that modern cars have different maps and according to the knocking sensor, it will use the right map for it. This means if we pump RON95 or 97, the map changes hence giving more power? In this case, can we say octane booster is actually lowering down the knocking hence the ECU is tricked to assume we are on RON97 despite using 95? Maybe this is how it happens? I'm not sure, just a guess :) [/QUOTE]
