Regardless of mileage, NO. None of them are what you want to put in a car you will keep. The octane boosters are completely unnecessary, and PTFE is probably one of the worst things you can put in an engine. Ask DuPont. They sued Slick50 because they were worried about product liability.

Not even in the dog's lawnmower...

There is nothing they could put in that tiny bottle to change octane on a tank of gas even 1.0 point. It takes at least a couple of gallons of something with a much higher octane to raise a tankful just a couple of points.

For example - I put 14.5 gallons of CA 91 premium with 4 gallons of 100 octane unleaded for a tank of slightly over 93 octane. To do something similar with a pint of liquid, or even a quart, would require a blending octane unknown to man. Don't waste your money on it.

No, No, and OMFG no it'll break your engine with its stupidity. If you need more octane, then run water injection. Don't use oil addatives, they screw up the oil. Do oil flushes.
