Replying to Topic 'Gasoline'
In my uneducated opinion, lead additives are snake oil. It's a lead substitute, not lead; its like comparing budweiser and o'douls.
Octane booster isnt needed. 89 octane is plenty. The only time you need to increase octane above the manufacturer's specs is if you get pinging. However, I will put in a bottle of Lucas fuel treatment every now and then.
I swear by Lucas oil products. At my last oil change, i used a bottle of their oil treatment and suprisingly, i can actually tell a difference. Mechanical noise from the engine was significantly reduced. I'm no engineer, but logic tells me that less noise probably means less wear; at least to some extent. Now I wont make an assertion that it reduces wear because I dont have any fact to back that up, but at least it makes me feel better.
