RE: 93 octane safe? fuel cleaners? octane boost?
im not saying i believe this is true or anything..but when i had my old sunbird, i asked if i should use some cleaner ,and they said not to because if you never used it the whole life of the car, there will be so much guck or whatever there, that it will try to clean it and it will get even worse...

that can happen, that it frees up some of the buildup thats in the motor, and it can get stuck in bad places. i say go for it, but drive hard right after to clean it all out.

maybe start out with a 1/4 bottle, then on the next tank use half, then the next tank use 3/4, then finally a full bottle. that way it will only break it up a little at a time.

im in a GM school right now, and they say not to use fuel additives, it eats rubber. and little chunks of crap can clog your injectors. that would be a 300?$ fuel service that you might not have needed, if its cloged, you will have a missfire, fix it if its broken.

hence me using MMO, it refreshs rubber, and very slowly cleans the deposits, as well as coat the entire engine with a very fine coat of oil, so it will help fight rust and buildup.
