when it says it raises it x points it means it raises it .x

so exactly 2 point raise on 91 = 91.2 pointless stuff

Exactly what he said. Buy yourself 1 gallon of toluene from Shermin Williams. And you will not reach the full potential of the octane booster unless you can advance the timing. My $.02

I've been running this race fuel concentrate in my own STi for over 10,500 miles ... every single day ... every tank full ...

Not detonation whatsoever ... nothing damaged ...

There is an unleaded version, and a leaded version ....

It gave me 25 degrees of ignition advance at full throttle, stock boost on a 98 degree day ... (when I was onlyl getting about 18 before)

Check it out ...
