Octane Booster?

You won't damage anything just take it easy and it will be fine. As long as you are not hot rodding it around you should be fine. If you are

You won't damage anything just take it easy and it will be fine. As long as you are not hot rodding it around you should be fine. If you are getting regular that is 87 octane. Mid grade is 89.

If you are tuned for 93, you might want to use booster to get to 88-89, but, as long as you are not dogging it, you should be OK. ECM should retard timing if it detects any knocking. Keep a close eye on temps.

Our mid grade here is 91. Regular is 89. I asked a while ago if there was an actual “tank” for mid grade. Was told no, the pump blends 89 and 93 making 91.

Another question I have is if I can run corn (e85) on a 93 tune. It’s a moot point since there was no corn either.

But anywho... I was able to score a full tank of 93 today. Ironically for less than what I was paying before the pipeline shutdown due to our Governor eating the tax. Someone else will have to be the Guinea Pig on this one. I’m still running cats and I didn’t need the headache of stuff that could go wrong.

It seems like I probably could have gotten away with a tank of reg with a couple of bottles of Lucas octane booster, driving it gently, but I was asceerd. Here’s to hoping this doesn’t happen to our power grid.
