The extra $5.00 a tank for 93 vs. regular is worth it. And I drive 500 miles a week. But I wouldn't run anything less than 93 (91 minimum, but I use 93), especially if you're modifying and driving hard.
I wonder how much the octane booster costs by the bottle when it only gets you an increase of .1 octane. Talk about a scam.
If you've been running normal gas for the 6 months this engine has run, I'd say that it may have done the damage we've seen.

1 Oct Point or 10 Oct Points...
I have found i bottle that said it and my brother called one of the Company'* to find out.
1 Oct Point = 0.1 Octane , so 10 oct points = 1 octane.
its just cheaper to get race fuel or just put 93 in.
