I have never had pingging in my engine, the reason to use the octane booster is to compensate for the gas quality that we sometimes get. I have notice a huge difference between the gas in the summer and that of the winter gas. I feel winter gas works better in my car. That is why before I place the car away for the winter my last fill up coinsides with using wintergas. The lead additive I used to use it in my 67 Volvo to reduce the valve damage and thought would do the same with the Cobra. However, getting the lead additive now is very difficult, not every store carries it.
