Just a comment about toluene's volatility. It is quite a bit less volatile than gasoline so I don't think you are looking at any greater vapor hazard with it than with gasoline itself. The boiling point of toluene is nearly twice that of gas so it just shouldn't be a problem.

Also was I missing something in the octane boost web site that 750hp found and posted. There is an octane boost 2 - 3 points at 10 % additive. I guess that doesn't seem like a lot to me. Are you doing much by going from 92 to 94 octane. I think you want to be in the 97-98 range and then the mixtures become pretty expensive.

Finally I thought I read once that acetone is a pretty good octance booster and it's also used in some paint thinners. Anyone else see this anywhere?
