dont bother. the store bought octane boosters are a scam. it will say on the bottle that it raises octane up to 7 points. yeah, .1 .2 .3 .... thats right, .7, your dog **** CA 91 octane for 2.28 per gal, say, 6 gallons, so 13.68+ about 7.00 for the booster brings it up to about 3.35 per gallon, and it will be running a vicious 91.7 octane. go to sherwin-williams and buy a gallon of xylene(paint thinner), about an ounce of marvel mystery oil, and a few ounces of kerosene, mix it all together and it should bump a six gallon tank of gas to about 94-95 octane. you can mix this up to about 70-30 with gas. the booster itself is about 117 octane, for about 8-12 bucks a gallon, so figure out the ratios. BTW, on a NA honda, you will see very little(if any) difference with higher octane, unless you have really high compression, like over 11:1

if you use the toulene or xylene, be sure to pour in a couple of ounces of MMO, the gasoline comes out of the pump with additives in it to protect the motor, but the toulene/xylene doesnt. BTW in my experience, xylene is roughly the same price, maybe a little cheaper, as well as easier to find. Plus, the toulene is roughly 114 octane and the xylene is roughly 117, so the same amount of xylene will bump it a little higher.
