I can`t find the previous thread I started.

Here are the results:
Control , taken out of my gas can .. 89 octane

What I walked away with :
Using fuel stabilizer will prevent phase seperation but lowers octane.
93 octane treated with boostane and not any fuel stabilizer will not lose octane over a years time.
Boostane seems to be working except the 50/50 test should be higher but it may be too much boostane and the machine can`t read the octane .. I dunno.

Was this summer gasoline?

If so, it is not surprising that octane increases with age, as the higher octane toluene will evaporate less than the lower octane components.

97 RON and 92 pump octane (average of RON and MON).

In the US, the gas station will show pump octane, while in most of the world, it will show RON.
