Octane booster

Hey guys,

So we’ve been planning a trip down the Lyell highway (Targa road between Strahan and Hobart) and whilst I’m pretty sure the Aurion has a big enough cruising range to complete the round trip i was wondering that with the fact that premium fuel will either be nonexistent or a million billion $$ a litre along the trip has anybody used octane booster in the 2GR-Fe engine?

Not really necessary for the N/A 2GR-FE. It won't help with fuel economy and if so, would probably be offset by the cost of it. The extra 4kW at the engine that you get with a higher octane isn't even noticeable as well if that's also what you are after.

That said, if you want to use it for your own peace of mind, then surely go ahead. It won't do any bad.

Personally, in my opinion, it won't do any more good to the engine when compared to normal unleaded. The main reason why I went premium in my Sportivo was not due to the higher octane, but for the additives that are 'said' to be in them... well BP Ultimate anyways. An octane booster will just boost the octane rating without having those so called additives that are meant to be good for your engine.
