yea it adds like 0.01 octane or something stupid like that!! i looked into this in some detail a while back when i started to get deto on 91 octane
off the shelf octane booster is definitely not the way to go. mixing toluene does indeed get the octane up but it kills fuel lines, so that is not a viable option for a street car
another option i was considering before i found a pump with higher octane fuel is purchasing a 55 gallon drum of 100 octane

i've seen it going for around $350 shipped, so around $6.36/gallon. this would let you run a more aggressive 93 octane tune, and mix the 100 octane 50/50 with readily available 91 octane you would get somewhere in the neighborhood of 96 so you could have your aggressive tune and a decent safety margin against deto
