Octane boosters?

[UnderEstimate Me]

I was talking about acetone, its 150 octane.


Here is a link on acetone

And yes, I use acetone everytime I fill up.

Methanol=140 to 160, and right at $4/gallon. Methanol can be added in all proportions up to 100 percent, but as an additive limited to 10 percent will give an Octane increase of about 5 points. For example 98 Octane can be increased to 103, or looking at it another way, cheap fuel of say 91 Octane can, by the use of 10 percent Methanol, or approximately three quarters of a pint per gallon, will produce fuel of 96 Octane.
;D

That is correct from what I have heard.

My professor synthesized his own octane booster in lab a while ago. Approx 30% ethanol with 70% toluene. We did a gas chromatography on a local octane booster sold at Kragen and got the percentages, an did a ratio based on that that. Off-the-shelf octane boosters are worthless, I hear, your best bet is going straight to race gas sold off-road warehouse and other places.
