Default Fuel Additives

Anyone use a fuel stabilizer? In my 2009 I started to use this stuff called LHP which is short for liquid horsepower. I dont know if it is better than any other product like stp or whatever... but I do like it. Quiets down my stock engine some. I fill up at a BP and find that this stuff helps (or I feel it does) over regular high octane gas from BP. I would imagine it is mainly treating getting the octane where it should be due to the hose being full of regular octane (87) gas from the car that filled up before me.... but... then again I could be wrong. What if any are you guys using?

Near home I know which stations have a dedicated nozzle for 91 octane on their pumps. Thats where I buy fuel locally. Pumps with one nozzle per pump (all grades) 3/10's gallon of previous fuel pumped before the premium hits your tank. Then you leave 3/10's gallon premium in line for next customer. Look at one gallon milk jug, see how much 3/10's is. Notice the one nozzle pumps provide a separate nozzle for diesel. At these stations only the pumps on the corners of the pump islands have diesel. They should do the same for premium. Dedicated premium nozzles on the corner pumps. Live in the desert, use HD fuel additive for intake lubrication. Cheap, can't hurt.

I've used LHP for quite a while, it works great, their latest one is formulated for gas with ethanol blend, great octane boost plus adds lubrication.
