Don't bother with the "octane boosters". They don't boost it very much. Take a bottle that says Octane Booster 5 on it. The 5 is really only a .5 boost in octain for a lot of $$$ relatively.

Chevron gas runs better because of the Techron in it. It really does keep the system clean and keeps carbon from building up. I don't use it (get my gas at Krober), but we have 93 octane everywhere here and I drive my Porsches in the high RPM range which keeps the carbon from building up.
