for those looking to raise octane

Straight Toluene has an octane of 114 were Xylene has one of 117. Toluene is very common as a octane booster. At one time Formula 1 cars ran on a fuel mixture of mid 80% Toluene. Care should be exercised when mixing your own fuels and is best to just purchase the fuel required for your application. E85 has an octane rating of 105 for comparison and I am waiting patiently for it to show up at my pumps because then I will convert my car to that. 105 octane pump fuel sounds great to me.
