i heard it was bad to use it all the time because it leave deposites on you gas lines. i wouldnt think it would be a big difference. should idle better and rev smoother but im def. not an expert. just my .02

I mixed 103 octane in a 3/1 mixture with 3 gallons of regular 93 and there was a noticable difference once the ECU adjusts for it, do a few WOT runs after putting it it to let the ECU readjust timing for you....

SCC's article said the Outlaw stuff raised 91 to almost 93. It now comes in a concentrated formula, 4 bottle pack for $10 that is safe for full time use and sensors. I have been using it for 4k miles and it seemed to make some difference. For a real test I should try skipping a few tanks now and see if I notice any difference. Unfortunately I am hooked, I can't stop adding it every tank full and I make sure I don't run low.

those octane boosters do not raise the gas anti detonation by two points, they raise it by .2 points. It can help but mixing touline or xylene is much better bang for the buck. I could be wrong about the .2 points but I have heard that on more than one occasion.
