[QUOTE="tIANcI, post: 690983, member: 25377"] High octane is generally used for high compression engines. Main purpose is not because higher octane gives you more power but mainly it stops premature detonation. Thus allowing the high compression engine to perform as intended. This is just being general. Please note there are tests conducted using octane boosters and the dyno shows that the HP increases by a mere 2-3 hP or in many cases it decreased too because the octane did not suit the engine. So does not mean pour in octane booster = more power. Also, if any its negligible. 2-3 HP on a 1,500 kg car cannot be felt. Only a gokart, oh yeah ... As for your query, if we use RON95 as an example on say your standard bimmer engine. No ... The octane booster will not give you better mileage at all. [/QUOTE]
