This is an old racers trick and while it "might" raise the octane,it is similar to most snake
oil stuff they sell on tv and in "speed shops".....if you have the right moth balls and enough of them, you "could" possibly raise the octane on a tank of gas by .1 !!!!!!!!!so you'd go from 93 octane to 93.1 octane,hardly worth it and mostly old wife's tale.....
