I swear by them... I use the O-boosters when I hafta gas up with low/er grade petrol. I keep a four pack of "Outlaw" brand in my trunk for such situations (available in justa bout NE auto parts store near you). Started doing this back when I was in Germany with my (turbo) Calibra. Never hadda ping or a knock outta either my Calibra or my Audi and I've used crap as low as 84 O* (in Ohio [:@]), so I figgR it must be doin SUMTHIN...

Am I right in thinking that you have to use octane boosters all the time, not just every now and then, as the ecu, gets a bit miffed when yu swap and change? I know the MR2 chaps used to use them for drag days, etc, but they went through a process of resetting ecu, and going for a few hours driving to get the ecu to run best with that fuel?

(I could be horribly wrong!)
