Thinking of using toluene in my turbo to raise my octane rating. mixing 20% tluene to our 95 RON should give me approx. 98 RON the engine requires.....
any thoughts ?
its better than octane boosters as it does not contain any lead and therefore does not harm O2 sensores.
furthermore, i believe that gasoline contains toluene anyway and is used by petrol companies to raise octane of their fuels....

Why do you want to raise the octane of your fuel? The car runs fine on premium unleaded.

Its energy content is a bit more. So you would have to run less of it, percentage wise, depending on how much is in the regular gas. But it is 118 octane, so if you are changing things, and need a slower flame front, then this would be your ticket.
