Does placing one mothball into the car gas tank help raise the octane level of the fuel?

Yes, mothballs will slightly assist the octane rating of gasoline. HOWEVER, in that grain of truth there lurks the potential for disaster.

No, I saw a show demonstrating this. It will cost you money in the long run (buying moth balls) No evidence it does anything for gas mileage.

I "think" if it did people would be doing it all the time. I can see it causing problems with your fuel system
