I put additive in mine, I buy the 87 octane and add my own additive, that way I know its higher octane! Many times I bought 93 and it ran like 87.......

What additive are you using to increase 6 octane points?
Torco works! My personal experience with an SRT4 with the "Stage 2 w/toys" Dodge factory upgrade required 100 octane for the increased boost and timing of the "toys" function. The best way to get 100 Octane reliably was with one 32 oz can of Torco for every 10 gallons of gas.
You could use Toulene from you local paint store. sold in gallons very cheap, high octane. But too much will burn valves. Thats what sunoco uses in race fuel to boost octane.
didnt say it raised it 6, just saying it raises it enough that I can tell.....
Why wouldnt you run 93 octane and then put it in to be sure you're getting the most octane you can?
If you are running lower your timing will adjust to the lower timing table.

$4.10 a gallon is cheaper than any 100 Octane unleaded I've found.
Agreed. Cheapest I've run 104 octane was 6.00 a gallon (havent found 100 octane...only 104 unleaded at the track when I was racing my nitrous-fed firebird)
What performance work was done to the car to require octane booster?
In Kalifornia, 91 is what is available. Some with Methanol (not sure how bad that really is) but the summer heat makes a difference in fuel requirement. So, IMHO, a little boost is helpful in keeping the car running its best.

Yeah OK, but the question was directed to the OP who resides in Fla.
