Octane Booster?
Now that I have my dream car the gas prices almost prevent me from driving it!!! My questions are, will it hurt the engine to put the mid grade fuel in and will octane booster hurt it? Hope these questions aren't too dumb..........

I think that using the mid grade and the octane booster will end up costing more than just using premium. It would not hurt the car but is not cost advantagious.

Run the premium. When you leave a stop light, ease into the gas. Run the car at a steady 65 on the freeway - even use cruise control. If you follow these tips, you will keep your gas prices under control. Mid0grade with booster? Nope - not the way to save $$.
