Can An Octane Booster Replace Premium?

Can an octane booster replace premium petrol?
I work with many fuel chemists on additive formulations including octane boosters.
Octane boosters can increase a fuel’s octane rating by about 1 to 4 points, helping prevent engine knock.
However, they’re more costly than just filling up with high octane petrol and those that work well usually leave deposits on the spark plugs due to the high organometallic content, the most common being MMT and Ferrocene.
Higher octane fuel is the most reliable and safest option because it is blended from high-octane base stocks rather than with anti-knock compounds.
