Toluene write up

[Ron Wainwright]

  Listers,

  About a month ago Mark Swanson inguired about
experamenting with Toluene,
 well after that I looked at a few web sites about it
and decided to try it on my 87 5ksq. After figuring
out how much to use,
I've been using a 5% mix (1 gal of Toluene) per fill
up (17 gal).
 The first time I filled up with 93 octaine & 1 gal of
Toluene which yealded a 94.4 octaine mix I did it at
exactlly 239k on the car, the next time I needed to
fill up was at 239416, that got me 416 miles on the
full tank which comes out to 23 miles per gal,
previouslly I was gettin around 400 per gal give or
take and 20ish mpg.
 The second time I filled at 239416 this time I went
to the Shell and used the 94 octaine and 1 gal of
Toluene for a mix of 95.4 octaine,
I just filled up again at 239853 which got me 437
miles on the full tank that got me 21 miles more than
the first time and I got 25 miles per gal compaired to
the previouse 23 mpg.
 Like mentioned I just filled up again at 239853 I
used the 93 octaine plus a 10% mix of Toluene this
time. The Shell 94 octaine was pritty expensive so I
went back to the Mobil 93 but like mentioned I bumped
up the mix to 10% so I'm using the same octaine as the
2nd time but It just ended up being cheaper.
 I was getting it in 1 gal containers for $7.00 or so
but this time I got a 5 gal drum for $32.00 so that
ends up being like $6.00 a gal. 93 octaine gas around
here is like $1.50 so in reality it was cheaper to
fill up with 93 instead of the 94 octaine.

 My conclution is the car idles better and is very
responsiove above 3k RPM's. I'm going to keep using it
I'm allso going to use it on my 90 200tqa it's got a
chip and spring mod, I'm going to see how the 200
response and get back to the list.
Thanks
Ron
