The_aSSet Posted February 11, 2013 Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 octane booster is crap, just use 93, that 10% ethanol isnt gonna hurt anything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC03SS Posted February 11, 2013 Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 Octane booster is a joke if it say will increase your octane by 10 points it 1 point. 7 points will make it 87.7 octane complete waste of money. It says supreme unleaded for a reason. Tell hims what's the extra 25 cents a gallon like 4$ lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLNAWAY Posted February 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 Ya i hear ya Jason. N you're guna end up spending 8+dollars on a fule additive. Might as well pay the 4$ xtra up front n get the best gas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muggs Posted February 12, 2013 Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 I agree with the guys, just run the 93 and be done with it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fireman31 Posted February 12, 2013 Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 Some engines require the use of premium fuel due to the fact that they have higher compression. The LQ9 in these trucks has 10.08:1 compression, The use of any grade of fuel lower than 91 octane will result in knock, ping, detonation, and decreased fuel mileage. Premium fuel is recommended for a reason, it's in your trucks and your best interest to use it.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Downeast Johnny Posted February 12, 2013 Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 I've wondered about the octane booster, too. (Never tried it, though). Good to hear the truth about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
