It doesn't work like that. You have to use what the can says to use, about 1 cap to gallon of gas.

WTF, do you even have a clue what 1 octane point is?
When the bottle says it raises the octane 5 points, what is the new octane value if you add it per the directions to 87 octane gas?

I don't know, I looked under the seat of my wife's Sporty and sure enough there was a blue wire. I didn't want to disconnect it and risk blowing a cyl. so I went with the two bottles of octane booster instead.
