Yes the fuel tests out to around 96 depending on quality...if I get shitty 93 it will at least test to 93. Bad gas and spark blowout, good bye engine. It's not race fuel but for a few bucks it's safe Pump all day..what's so funny?

You don't know what you're talking about. Do some research on the Lucas additive. It adds a few points less than torco for much cheaper. Torco caps to around 99 oct and the Lucas caps to 96. Those are the only 2 boosters that really do anything.
That's after 100,000 miles on a tune that's not calibrated for what's being added..my car is tuned for 93. It's 4 years old with 22,000 miles on it, 1500+ of which are with the new setup. This motor will not see 100k. The additive will make up for bad gas and detonation on the hottest days in harsh conditions. Since you're not under standing, if I fill up on gas that tests to 91-92 but it's supposed to be 93, the stuff I'm adding will keep my tune safe so I don't have to detune as you suggested. I'm not going to thread jack this to prove what's already been proven. Do a little more research if you really want to know. Logs + testing to see for yourself. Do some research on how to test fuel. A lot of the e85 guys do it every tank and if you have the funds install a management system that tests for you, they do exist. I'm not a genius but it makes sense! I'd buy race gas but at $7 a gallon + pure overkill for me it's pointless. I'm converting to e85 in time.
I love E85...
No drama, just performance
So you have access to octane engines to test the research and motor octane of the fuel and verify it comes out to 96 octane?
The first statement here is closer to what you're actually getting. Those small bottles of octane booster don't have a high enough rating to raise a tank to where it would make a significant difference. That few bucks you're spending on the octane booster could be better spent on a quality fuel if you're not already using one.
