If your car says it requires gasoline with a specific octane rating ...

Well, it will probably operate with a lower octane rating, but it will be very bad for the engine and for your gas mileage.

However, you don't need to use an octane rating any higher than your engine specifies, and there's likely no real benefit to doing so.

What is octane number of a fuel?

Many car engines run on gasoline. If the octane is low, the engine will knock. If it is high, the engine will not knock, which means that sometimes it will make a knocking sound as you drive along. It also might keep running when you turn off the key to the car. With high octane, the engine also starts easier. It is more expensive to make high octane fuel. Lower octane fuel gets better milage. There are two organic chemicals: isooctane and heptane. Isooctane is a good fuel for cars. It is rated at 100 octane. Heptane is a bad fuel for cars. It is rated at zero octane. When gasoline is made, they need to make a certain octane. They put the gasoline in a car engine. They then run the car with a mixture of isooctane and heptane. They find the mixture that matches the batch of gasoline. That is the octane rating of the new batch of gasoline.

Should i use an octane booster with your 98 gtp supercharger?

If you're using 91+ octane fuel then theres no point if your car is stock.It IS possible its still knocking even on 91+ but if you're never push your car, no need to worry. If you ARE hard on the throttle, using 93/94 octane would be ideal unless you can get someone or something to scan.?
