My dad used to build oil refineries for Exxon and he swears that higher octance fuel is unsubstantial with day-to-day driving (high performance a bit different.)... Likewise, you really shouldn't have to worry about additives for a long time. It takes a while for the longer-term affects of heat and friction to build-up in the engine and that's what additives (are supposed to) help....

to high of octane does not beifit your car but makes a hotter burn. my friends car had a hard time starting after using NOS racing formula with Nitro methan and MMT

I've used the NOS Octane Boost before. I used the "Offroad" formula because it raises the octane up to 7 points or whatever.
I used that and my usual Chevron Supreme pump gas. The only difference I felt was that my car ran much smoother at high rpms and idle. Or maybe it was just in my head. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG]
