Moving to Colorado got a ?

I run 93 octane here in NC, out west 91 is all I can get. To avoid detonation problems, would running octane booster help?

NO.

Octane Boosters only raise the octain by .4 points or something rediculous. IT does not add ACTUAL 2-3-4points to the overall octane.

So if you add octane booster to lets say 91, you will probably get 91.4 octane.

Waste of money.

You probably won't have detonation problems due to the higher altitude. In fact, the altitude is the reason why the octane ratings are lower accrossed the board. Nobody I've talked that's moved here from sea-level has said anything.
