Actually thats the 4th Octane booster I've tried. I've been keeping track of the effects it has on my MPG (Z's have a built in calculator on the MFD) and responsiveness.

So far the STP seems to be the best stuff for the money. This is in preparation for mods planned for later this summer. I wanted to have a feel for how the car should feel running this stuff while in a stock configuration so there wouldn't be any surprises down the road.

I also didn't let any pre-concieved notions get in the way of my testing. The NoS stuff does work great, its just expensive as hell (2-3x as much) compared to the other stuff out there.

My friends have those MPG things in their dash too (which I think is a new dealer trend to try to change drivers habits to make the EPA mileage number seem more realistic... but anyways). But you cant trust that gauge, it's not really that accurate. The only way to truly know your true MPG is to fill up, reset odometer, drive around, fill up again and divide miles traveled by gallons needed to fill up.
Then do this every time you fill up to verify and track changes.

But hey I'm a perfectionist.

He probably just saw me rockin' the Avalanche, it's fast, but no wing! It has a high performance roof rack though.
