that's because they actually spent the time tuning the engine to the fuel, where most average joe, just throws it in the tank and expects something marvelous to happen, need to retune the ecu for toluene.
Also mythbusters, does the most half asses experiments, where nothing is really explained properly.
I wouldn't put more than 10% Toluene mixe in my tank if I where you. maybe for grins I would mix 5% nitro.
