And ONE POINT of octane boost is 1.0- NOT .1

Who says so Chas? Is that some kind of Government regulated standard or something? Perhaps they mean MON octane instead of RON octane? Booster bottles can say whatever they want and do!
One point does equal 1. Same as points on a mortgage. One point equals 1%. When you're speaking about values less that 1 point or percent, you're talking about basis points. 10 basis points equals .1%

So if the booster bottle says it increases the octane by one point, they mean 91 octane will go to 92. And since it's written on the bottle, it must be true, right?
