Default POLL: Do you use Octane boost?
I have used NOS Octane boost a few times in the past 6 months. I don't want to spend an extra $10 on every tank, plus I don't know if running that high all the time is good for the engine or not.
However, I sure do feel like I get better performance when I use it.

Default No but I am guilty of using RedLine fuel injection cleaner
Swore by it on my SHO,but then again I actually took the motor apart on that to see evidence of it working...

Default No I sometimes mix with 100 Octane
About once a month, I mix in a half tank of 100 Octane.

But I also agree that at least once a year, you should add Fuel Injection Cleaner for 3 successive fill-ups. It's an old trick my mechanic taught me and is a lot cheaper that replacing injectors.

Nope. 91 is fine at altitude.
