octane booster and price of gas/Why?

[RandalPark@xxxxxxx]

I agree with you Rich. I think that the point of this was that since gas is so 
expensive, the person wanted to run cheaper, low octane gas instead of premium, 
and use the octane booster to make up for it.

Apparently, the cost of low octane gas added to the cost of the octane booster 
is less than just buying premium fuel.

To me, if somebody has to quibble over 20 cents per gallon of gas, they are 
probably in the wrong hobby.
