I wonder by how much their sales droped after this show went to air. I personally have never used them because I could never justify the exspense. Glad I didn't now.

Could probably make that up by dropping a couple of cylinders and adding a hairdryer!!

I have used octane fuel additive, as a treat for my Boye & Me
I have had A LOT of FUN, adding a bottle to my tank... & Yes, it did make a difference.. but hey, I'm only female & drive a V8Ute.... but bang for buck, this is GOOD.

Turbos don't need any additives (even if additives did work) - they are fast enough! Just needs injector cleaner, makes it run even better!

Yeah - did that one, The 8 ran like you wouldn't believe, that's when I tried the octane boost. I have a Caltex card, so I don't use BP, so my additive takes it over the BP 98.... like I said .. FUN

But a Turbo charger is an additive though.

My V8Ute works for Me, just like your Turbo Ce-Dan works for you, no need to get snippy about it .. after all, it was after reading one of your posts about BP98 that I tried the octane boost.Janianne wrote:If that works for you, all the better!

????? Sorry I wasn't being "snippy" - just meant that we all try different things and sometimes it seems the cars do go better with them. That's all!
