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?

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...

Funnily enough, there's a few places here in London that rent them out. Hell, the kid next door to me rented a white 2010 and kept asking me to race him....so I did. In my M5
I'd hate to be the poor guy that ends up buying that car from the guy that rents them out.......
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.

Good luck, you have a great attitude! Hope you don't crash the car with all that octane boost and flip it and burn to death inside of it!

There's about a 6 octane point difference between regular and premium. If you think the prior renters have all used regular, adding 2 cans of booster sounds like good math. Two cans shouldn't hurt anything.
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!
