Favorite gas additives

Seafoam for when ever I want to create a smoke screen. All kidding aside, octane boosters are by and large useless for anything other then placebo. Touroline is about the only effective additive that is cheap enough to use in bulk to make a difference in Octane. Cleaner additives are good for neglected old motors but make little difference in well maintained newer motors.

Toluene? Yeah, it works well but it isn't cheap any more. Toluene/Xylene with a splash of Marvel's Mystery Oil was the recipe for redneck octane booster for a long time.

What are you running for octane?Can you buy 97- 100 octane where you live?
What other alternatives are there for higher octane on boosted car other than methanol injection?
Also Sea foam is great.I put in everthing when I put away for winter.

My whole point of this was for people with boosted cars who need more octane.High octane pump gas may not be available in their area.I'm hearing negative from people.I'm hearing positive from people that are using additives.I would like to hear from people that have the higher octane maps on car.What are you using?
