Its the octane boost formula not the actual boost of the octane. However, if you are running 1 litre of octane boost such as Torco Race Fuel Concentrate in 16 gallons of 91 it won't harm anything to do it every once in awhile. I found that its just as inexpensive to blend unleaded race gas as running the Race Fuel Concentrate.
