Plus from the octane boosters I can find most don't guarantee a big enough jump at the recommended dose....
Also anyone notice that BP says it cleans the dirt out, I mean seriously??
No one ever gets dirt in the fuel or engine.
Soot/Carbon deposits sure, but they won't say that as it may mean something it can't really be proven to do ACCC anyone?

Fuel will always have some sediment in it, clean storage tanks will mean minimal sediment, dirty old ones will have a lot more. It is why fuel filters are fitted to cars. Even still, some does get past the filter and becomes a deposit within the fuel system, in addition to carbon deposits on the valvetrain and intake ports.

I always run BP 98 in my car, so I'm yet to notice any change in the engine's running characteristics. With my current driving pattern, I'm getting 750km out of a 60L fill and that corresponds to about two weeks between fills.
