A product called Fuel Power does not appear to function as an effective octane booster. I tried it on 3 occasions and found no positive results.

Fuel Power is a cleaner not a booster. Keep in mind that the octane required in some engines to eliminate knock is partly due to deposits in the combustion chamber that cause preignition. If FuelPower or other effective fuel system cleaner removes these deposits, the engine can run as well on lower octane fuel, much like it did when new.

Is it just me or is the quality of gasoline going down hill?

Maybe that is why we see so many products to kinda make it better.

Too High an Octane, chances are, the power will drop off, your engine will run hot and mileage will decay. It seems best efficiency (or optimum pressure point) reached by the engine occurs when the fuel octane is correct. This optimum pressure occurs inside the engine cylinders when the piston is 15 degrees after top dead center. Too high an octane may cause optimum pressure to occur at 25 or 35 degrees after top center which means late timing that causes power to drop. Too low an octane rating will cause peak pressure to happen at 5 or 10 degrees after top center. Such early timing leads to detonation, loss of power and even engine damage. So you just cannot beat proper timing with proper gasoline.
