don;t use 87 octane in a banshee. it needs 91 or higher

If your in a bind and have no other fuel available, 87 octane will work. Your ride might not perform like it normally would. The octane boosters are a waste of money. They claim 104 octane, can you say BS. They might give you a couple three, but thats about it. If you have no choice but the 87, use it till you can get somewhere that has higher octane fuel.
