What do you feed your 10th gen?

MBN...... California 91 is the best we got

Same here in AZ. Closest E85 is like 45min from me as well.

I'm in California so I only have up to 91. But I fill it up with 10 oz. Torco Unleaded Fuel Accelerator from a near empty tank as well. Should be raising that octane to 93+ for sure.

Same here, but that stuff is getting expensive too. ?

It’s crazy E85 use to be extremely cheap !

The closest e85 station near me is $4 a gal…?

I love paying over $1 more per gallon than just 11 months ago.

Oof.. 89 E-Free, most the time. + Half tank of 92 E-Free when I can..

I've tossed everything I can use.

• 91 octane
• 91 octane + ~1 gall E85
• 9 gallons of 101 octane: feels like my car died, no vibrations; unsettling to say.

Shell 91 here. It doesn't contain any ethanol around me area.
93 will give you no benefits if you aren't tuned for it.

If you REALLY look closely, you’ll see those additives only raise the Octane count by TENTHS. It was a surprise to me. There are instructions available on the Internet how to mix chemicals like Toluene, etc., that you can buy in bulk from paint and industrial supply places. Problem is, $$$, and where to store a 5-20 gallon drum! ?

I'm not so sure that I understand. I read the label, and I don't see how it's only raising by tenths. Perhaps you can help me by clarifying?

Looks like that might be the real deal. The stuff that you get at autoparts stores in those little bottles is what he was talking about and what most people use and refer to as octane boosters.

No, it’s the same. Maybe a little more potent. Read this article to get a better idea of what is going on:

I MAY still have the old charts I had kicking around somewhere, but good luck finding them. My goal was that I had an ECU for my VW Passat that was tuned for 93, and all I can buy in my area is 91. I ended up trading a guy for his 91 tuned ECU, which was lucky, because you need to mix up GALLONS of this stuff to make any meaningful difference in Octane rating. I wasn’t willing to pay $30-40 a tank just to get the power that ECU was rated for…

A single quart bottle simply can’t do what they want to make you think it can.
