RE: Octane Booster (score: 1): Author: Dick J <lsr_man@yahoo.com>; Date: Mon, 30 Sep 2002 15:37:55 -0700 (PDT); Those formulae printed by Ed are chemically and mathematically correct, but don't do it. Xylene is, in fact, an octane booster. I worked in a refinery for a short time after I retired the second time; /html/land-speed/2002-10/msg00001.html (9,188 bytes)
