Default not worried, because I know it's not a problem...
but I'm curious if anyone recommends something like driving to a near empty tank before refilling with 93 (might not be avoidable anyway if it takes a while to get more gas at the stations).

Default I'd agree, but keep in mind youll need at least four bottles or 1 gallon of toluene...
to raise the octane to 91. Octane booster raise octane an average of 7 points and 1 point equals one tenth of an octane number meaning 87 + super special racing octane booster = 87.7. cheers! Mike
