Default Octane Booster????

I live in Kansas City, and the gas here only maxes out at 91 octane.

Regards,
JC

I used it in my 93, most people say it doesn't make that much of a difference since it only adds .1 or .2 octane. But the gas in KC sucks and I could tell a difference using it.

There is a local gas station in my city that sells 100 octane from the pump.
Anyone know if this will give sugnifigant gains. I have read before that anything over 93 you really won't know the difference and could even be potentially bad for the motor. Any comments..

91 just like Cali, we are the leaders, watch other will soon follow. There are some stations here that sell racing gas (100 Oct) at $4.50 a gallon. It may even be cheaper now that prices have fallen.

Octane Booster is psychological, I think!
