Anyone here tried Boostane in their car?

My job moved me to the desert in California and Fri and Sat are the only days I really drive my car any distance. I only use premium gas (91 octane here) and I've noticed that my car seems to surge up and down on the small hills going back to my house. A friend said boostane will up the octane rating significantly and eliminate the surging. He uses it in his Bimmer's and said it works great. I checked their website and all the cars listed are either turbo, s/c'd or running NOS. I contacted them and of course they say it will work fine in the Maxima but I just wanted to know if any of you guys here are using it or even heard of it. Thanks all.

My car does the same thing on hills.. I attribute this to needing a new catalyc converter. What about you? Maybe I'm wrong though.
