if you used 20 bottles, maybe.
otherwise, i think it lifts you like .002 points or something

They say it rasies your octane 5-7 points, but what they dont tell you is that it is .05-.07 points. My suggestion would be to get some toulane from your local paint store. Its a paint thinner, I know it sounds odd, but it works. You add one gallon to about 4 gallons of gas, you will get about 100 octane. Good luck. Oh yeah IMO dont bother with the octane boosters.
