Default What is "Octane booster"??

What is "Octain booster"? how do it work I have some answer for this (1) Octane rating - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (2) How do Octane Boosters Work? - MonsterGuide.net

But need a answer:
  1. What are the advantages and disadvantages of it?
  2. Can we use this for a daily use
  3. Does this help in increase of mileage or not.
  4. Does it help more fire power at low altitude

Can anyone have the answer in simple works. its would help me with my confusion.

There is no use for our motorcycles, it is usually used in case of superbikes, for which it is recommended to use 95 octane or better petrol, which is not easily available every where and thus the octane boosters are used to compensate for it.

Btw if you are looking at fuel additive, then checkout System G, it is quite decent and is available at BP petrol pumps.

IFTEX Clean System G is a Generation V gasoline fuel additive, with outstanding clean-up and keep-clean properties, most convenient to use by adding to the fuel tank in the recommended proportion and designed to keep the fuel system free of performance inhibiting deposits.

Recommended for cars both with fuel injectors and with carburetors.
Also recommended as a preventive maintenance product to be used regularly for keeping the fuel system and engine in top working condition.

Benefits :
Cleans Fuel Injectors and carburetors of dirt, gum and varnish deposits without taking them apart.
Cleans intake manifolds and intake valves and restores proper compression.
Eliminates rough idling, hesitation, stalling, hard starting, lean surging and poor throttle response caused by deposits in the fuel system.

They also have a additive for 2 wheelers, but I haven't yet seen it anywhere in the market.

It is impossible for us to determine what additive has had what effect and whether there has been any benefit at all!

But I do use SystemG and SystemD regularly with the regular petrol and diesel that I opt for.

I agree, mainly what I look for in an additive is the ability to keep the carburetor clean. This is why I used to use System G earlier (after couple of tankfulls), though haven’t used in past year or so.
