Octane Booster

Has anyone used Octane Booster. Does it work like it says? Does it hurt emmissions?

This stuff is really nothing more than fuel injector cleaner, it will do nothing. You are better off trying that homemade racing fuel, or buying some real VP and mixing it in your tank.

What is the highest octane premium available in California? 91 octane? If you are interested in a booster/cleaner, take a look at the first link for FuelPower and the second link for Schaeffer's Neutra #131.

http://www.lubecontrol.com http://www.schaefferoil.com/

These are fuel conditioner/cleaner that help the fuel burn more efficiently and in effect boost the octane rating.

Yeap. Very true. You are not getting 93 Octane gas from a 91 Octane gas w/ octane booster.
