Fuel octane boosters

[horsemeatscandal]

Is it worth using these and if so, what's the best one for road use if I only have access to 95 RON fuel for a week?

Cheers.

What are you driving? Modern cars won't knock, old ones might.

I used to keep a can of VP Racing Madditive Octanium in my box of goodies to take to trackdays just incase only 95 was available. Car was mapped on 99. However I had fuel jugs.

I’ve also used Millers CVL turbo octane booster which was a little easier as you can just bang the whole thing in the tank.

5 litres of Toluene should do it.

A 2002 JDM car. It does not enjoy 95 RON.

Miller's was a brand I was looking at actually. Or classic Redex which is cheap and is easy to get hold of.

I've purchased a few tins of LiquiMoly Octane Booster, should do the trick.

if perchance you're doing the NC500, there are a few petrol stations selling super up there. best advice is to stop in every one (there arent many) and if they have super, fill up, even if you already have half a tank.

Not quite. West coast of Ireland. Apparently they don't do super. There is a BP on the border that will be my final tank.

NF Octane Booster Racing Formula - 6 RON 300ml
One bottle to 60ltrs gives a 6 ron increase.

That narrows it down.
