I found these same formulas on different sites. I haven't tried it and don't really plan on it unless I have a shit load of people confirm it, but i wanna know if any of you have heard of using this stuff and if you would recommend it in small ammounts.

Editor's note: I would NOT suggest that a person use the following fuel mixtures without considering the detrimental effects on your engine, vital engine components (O2 sensor, etc), and other potential damage. That said, the information is interesting.
^ i think there trying to tell you something here.

Everything has a warning. It all depends on how much you use. So back to someone with real knowledge about this...

If you look close, its for motorbikes, not cars. I wouldn't

Most of what they list on there is what is already used in gasoline at the pumps... MTBE, ethanol... all fuel additives which increase the octane rating of fuel. I say give it a try.. it's the same shit the gas companies use.

some of that MIGHT be good for very high compression motors only.
