Personally, I'd use octane booster only if I got some very low octane (say >= 4 ratings less). Keep in mind that the octane boost printed on the bottle is usually in "points" not octane numbers - it's gonna take a lot of booster to make much of a difference.
The STP stuff has an insane # of points and one bottle will kick a full tank up from 91 to 93. But it ain't cheap
