With my '98 900SET, I do notice a difference - presumably due to the timing being retarded less - when running 94 or 95 as opposed to 93. The engine seems a lot happier, just runs smoother and there is more power. I also run an MBC, though. My advice is that, if you're going to run an octane booster, just but some toluene (sometimes incorrectly labeled toluol in the hardware store) or some xylene (incorrectly labeled Xylol). Search the 'net for their respective octane ratings, and then it's a matter of simple math, depending on how much T. or X. you add to how much gas of what octane to find out the final (R+M)/2 octane level of the tank. Additives that come in fancy bottles are for fools that are attracted to such shiny, colorful things. They're a ripoff. In addition, T. and X. are constituents of normal gasoline, and as such you know they aren't going to be harmful if used in any reasonable proportion.
