Kerosene is very LOW octane!


Interesting!

In that case I'll have to post the source of my comment:

I'm not endorsing that product or anything.. In fact I'm more inclined
to question it at this point.


Nowhere in the website does it give the octane rating for the kerosene,
which it lists as "86%-98%." The octane boost has to come from the other
2%-14%. If there is so much kerosene in it, I would not trust its
efficacy.
