I believe the math has been done, and it's cheaper to go with Torco, not to mention the HUGE convenience factor!!!

I was going to post, "Does someone have that math?" but decided to do a search first. A lot of talk about this product. I am very skeptical about any octane booster that claims to do anything at only 32ozs. Just doesn't compute for me.....but I will try it in my Grand National, through some boost at it, and see what happens. Seems others have had good luck, so who am I to knock it (pun intended).

Thx,
