I noticed in perusing the supercharger info last night, that octane 93
gas is required.  I assume this is true of all turbo/supercharger applications
to prevent early detonation.  Are there any aftermarket "octane boosters"
that can be used with regular unleaded to get the octane to premium levels,
or should these be avoided?  I'm thinking in terms of those rare times when
premium unleaded isn't available.

thanks,
jeff
