Here's the info on Toluene.

Assume you have a 18 gal tank.  Drive a bit so you have
room to add 4 gallons of Toluene to the tank.  This will
result in 93+ octane ...

   14*87  +  4*114     1218  +  456      1674
   ---------------  =  ------------  =  ------  =  93
        18                 18             18

You can go to a Sherwin Williams paint store, and buy 4 one gallon cans
of Toluene, for about $5.00 a gallon.
