Only downside, it's not cheap. It's about 20-$24 for a bottle which is 32oz.

Rather keep it under 3k rmp and just top it back with 93. Only drive it 2 hours a week, but really feel like doing a road trip just to empty. No boost makes Kratikos a dull boy.

You'd rather siphon off the gas or go on a road trip than buy a $20 bottle of something?

You must have spent $20-40k on your car... $20 surely can't hurt too much.

And have you siphoned gas? I have. Most (I think all) modern cars have built in anti-siphon tubes, so you have to use a tiny hose to get gas out. IMO not worth the time.

I purchased 104 octane booster, it's treats 25 gallons. Now I have 91ish octane instead of 87.

Yes I can remove the driver seat for the lid, but I'll need to find a pump. I'm not going to spend all day using a small hand pump. May have to look online, and tbh don't think it's that serious after using the booster, and grandma driving to empty.

Youve never siphoned before have you?

You dont need a pump.

Did you purchase the stuff called 104?
Because that shít doesn't work.

You can use:
Torco
Xylene (with Marvel Mystery Oil)
Toluene
Boostane

Not much else will work or is safe.
