Sooo carrying extra fuel

Didn’t they do tests and the number of bottles of octane booster you’d have to add to increase the octane rating one point was pretty ridiculous?

Always thought octane booster was just snake oil

Most boosters are garbage and advertise "3 point increase", which uninformed people equate to 3 octane, but is actually 0.3, lol.

So yes, most of it is snake oil. However some brands actually do increase it enough. It isn't financially worth it unless you're desperate like OP is.

Yea edited my post, I estimate between 4-9 bottles of booster to go from 91-94.

There seem to be some home remedies, but if he’s road tripping I’d personally just load the 91 tune. he’ll pick up a ton of fuel economy most likely to boot!

Worst thing would be to rely on a couple pumps and have them either not be 94 when he gets there or other issues (pump problems, lack of supply)

Check the image date, and if it's older than a year, call them. Some Huskies recently stopped carrying it.

Edit: yea searching around its hard to find what say STP claims for their 155ml octane booster bottle but the ranges claimed are between 2-5 points per bottle and a bottle can treat 79 litres.

That means you’d have to put between 4 and 9 bottles of octane booster to bump 50L of 91 to 94. So between $24 and $54 per tank extra.

I might be wrong but I think that High Temp guy has some involvement with racing fuel technologies or something. It was his suggestion.
I doubt it's one you can buy at Crappy Tire and look at his math. It added $0.50/L so it wasn't cheap.

Missed his post sorry, thought you were referring to ctire octane boosters.

Going to get racing fuel additive seems like a lot of work for a road trip haha

True, but driving a car that can allegedly only run on 94 is a lot of work, so... Taking it in a road trip is maybe going to be a lot of work.
I still she with the guy that said "run 91 and don't drive WOT everywhere".

This is likely me next weekend when they realize I came through and bought zero fuel. Fill up in Lake Louis, bring 60L of diesel in Jerry Cans and I’m pretty sure I can make it to Big White and back Lake Louis without buying any BC fuel hehe
