Octane Booster for C63 Rental

Octane Booster for C63 Rental
Hi
I am renting a C63 AMG.
I am going in with the assumption all the previous renters most likely put in 87 before they returned the car because they are cheap.
I have the car only for 24 hours, and a 75 mile limit before I start getting charged. I plan on putting in some Octane booster to try and counter act the 87 fuel in there since I don't have enough miles to burn thru the bad gas and put in good gas.
Question is, do you guys think there is any point dumping two bottles in there (only one is needed to treat 20 gal tank - Royal Purple Max Boos Octane Booster - claims 3 Octane point boost), so that it can dilute as quickly as possible (I only have about 75 miles to drive on it)? Is it dangerous in any way?
Thanks

I think you should forget the gas at all, and just fill with boost.

Don't waste your money on the octane booster.. if it has 87 in it you'll know right away because it will run like crap. What company rents C63's anyway ?

Find the closest station with 100 or higher octane. You'll probably pay about $7/gal. Drive around enough to mix it up, then find a place where you can do 5-6 full throttle runes through at least 3 gears. You're set...

Why bother on a one day rental and 75 limit.
If it ain'y knockin' and pingin' which is shouldn't if the system is doing its job just forget about it.

For those of you that gave real answers, thanks.
For the others with the "oh gods". I really don't understand what your problem is. I asked a simple, real question and I feel some of you didn't even read it, just saw Octane Booster and put on your little stupid spiel, like robots.
I thought the members on this forum would have class, like AMG cars do, but clearly they do not. I really hope the mods do their jobs and start cleaning up the forums of people like you, because its people like you that turn others away from your little "community". Although in reality, the mods won't because half don't do their jobs, and will probably ban me...go ahead, 0 craps given.
And yes, I'm renting from Hertz, and yes its in Cali, and yes Cali gas sucks. With 75 miles, Octane Booster is my only option, so stop your whining.

If you're planning on tearing up the Westside there are some gas stations in/convenient to that area on this list:

On the other hand, unless the car is pinging and stumbling, the boost isn't likely to make a whole lot of difference. I'd suggest to just drive and enjoy, and not worry about that added fraction of power - it's already got enough to get the unsuspecting driver into lots of trouble.
Hope you enjoy it!

I use octanium from vp racing.it works but is not street legal.my AutoZone sells it.
It raises octane up to 80 points and is probably the strongest booster you can buy.
