quote:[HR][/HR] When the state bans the use of methyl tertiary butyl ether, an additive that boosts octane but also pollutes ground water, refiners will spend more to make less gasoline. Problems buying enough additives could create shortages that push prices up as much as 50 cents per gallon temporarily.
Premium will be the toughest to blend, because making a 92 octane without MTBE requires scarce additives. State energy experts asked refiners to consider changing premium's octane now so that the switch to MTBE-free fuel won't be as disruptive.[HR][/HR]
And Everyone call's us Pollution Nazi's in this state

OK, I read the article, has anyone done this? Or know of anyone that has increased the octane rating on their car from doing this?
