Is this that Lubetec stuff?
They had a booth set up at the Interantional Auto Show at the Round-up Center, they had all this octane boost/oil treatment stuff.
Guy selling it there said the local VW club uses it all the time, they have this performance chip that only works with higher octane fuel, so they use the additive and get max performance from the chip, major horsepower increase.

No offence to anyone, but....
This is the way I feel aout boosters as well:
I never said that more octane doesn't help prevent detonation at high cylinder pressures. What I DO say is octane boost does NOT increase octane in fuel appreciably. I would like to see a test done (independantly) on a sample of fuel using this additive, I'd be willing to put $10 down ( I'm a broke bastard right now..heh)on a bet that this stuff DOES NOT perform as advertised.Oh, and nobody is saying octane boost is useless, I was merely stating the fact that the octane boosters out there do NOT boost octane levels enough to make a signicant difference.

Guys, on a side note, be careful when using xylene, and wear gloves. I've used that stuff in labs over the past couple years for immunohistochemistry and it's a heavy carcinogen, we only use it in fume hoods. Don't want to see any of you getting sick

Let's just wait and see what comes from Rage's test (unbiased)

I love how he keeps coming back and sayng "The Manufaturer says it will boost it 7-10 points". Isn't this what we have been debating all along? You would think he would ask the manufaturer if it will raise the otane levels by 7-10 meaning a full digit increase times 7 to 10. (92+7=99). Maybe that is what they are saying, but he keeps putting that "Points" word in there which is a known term to describe 1/10th of an octane number.
I dunno...we'll have to wait an see, if this stuff does what you say it does...we'll need a bit more than a Mr.Coffee in the back of a Delorean to handle this shit.
