6 of one?

I’ve lifted this little item from a discussion board and tidied the grammar for ease of reading.
For every 15 gallons of gasoline you buy of Super at the additional cost of 20 cents per gallon, you will be paying a $3.00 premium over the cost of 15 gallons of Regular. So if you can buy a bottle of octane booster with fuel injector cleaner for under $3.00 which treats 15 gallons of Regular gasoline, and put one of those in with every fill, you will be treating your car the same as filling it with Super.
But which alternative is better for the engine? That’s what enquiring minds wish to know. Is Super really that much better for the car than Regular, and is the booster merely the equivalent of the difference?
The gas station owner would make more money as well.
15 gallons of Super would net the owner possibly $2.10.
15 gallons of Regular with a $3 bottle of Treatment would net the owner about $2.70 ($1.50 profit on gas and $1.20 profit on treatment)
I’ve invited the author of this bit of info to contact me by email.
