Its not very good, it increases your octane by about 0.2 and is expensive. Waste of money IMO. Just get some Tesco 99 ron.

exactly u guys have 98/99ron in england, no need for octane booster, all we got here is poxy 95ron

It can (potentially!) boost the octane level of the fuel by (up to!) a few (decimal!) points

 

So 95RON could become 95.x RON if you drop in a couple of bottles and your fuel tank is not very full (or else it's totally diluted and you don't get jack)

 

Customs & excise don't bother to tax them, so that gives you an idea of their value in the 'fuel' chain. They will tax you if you fill your diesel tank with used oil from the chippie - to put things into perspective!

If you're talking about the 'NOS' octane booster then yes, it's one of the very few ones that do something.

It's closer to pure toluene/xylene than the other jokes (which all have to be legal, so can't use any nasty chemicals as they would need to)

Still, the price is waaaay off because you'd really need a few bottles mixed in a full tank.
