[AT] Old Antifreeze

[DAVIESW739 at aol.com]

while looking for your problem I didn't find  anything other than the 
antifreeze has a shelf life of many years open or  sealed. 

But I did find this an thought that the fellows might be  interested in it.

Q: I'm constantly  hearing about octane booster products. You say 0-60 can 
boost my octane by up to  10 points. What's a point and how does it relate to my 
car's performance?
A:  The term "points" is commonly used in the automotive industry when 
referring to  the octane increase a product offers. This is different from the 
figures shown  at your local gas pump, where the octane "rating" of a gasoline is 
measured in  "numbers". This can sometimes create confusion as to how "points" 
translate to  "numbers". The following calculation can be used to translate 
points to  numbers:
1 octane point = 0.1 octane number
Increasing the octane of  gasoline has several positive effects on automobile 
performance. A higher octane  gasoline will allow a car to run smoother by 
reducing knocks and pings, which  ultimately restores lost performance.
An example of this might be:
Common  regular unleaded gasoline is rated at 87 octane at the gas pump. If 
you treat  that gasoline with an octane enhancement product that claims a 5 
"point"  increase, then the end result will be a gasoline that has an 87.5 octane 
rating.  In this example, the octane enhancement product provided 5 "points", 
which is  equal to 0.5 octane numbers.
Prestone® 0 to 60® Booster provides 10 points of  octane increase, which will 
increase the octane of regular unleaded gasoline by  a full number. In this 
case, an 87 octane rated fuel would go to 88 after  treatment with Prestone® 0 
to 60® Booster.
