Here is a good article regarding toluene "home brew" octane boosters, I am sure mr ignorant will ignore it.

Toluene-laden fuels burn slower and make less power on high-revving engines. So much in fact that much of the air/fuel mixture is still burning as the charge exits through the exhaust valve. This is a sure way to destroy your emissions-control equipment and not pass smog. For these reasons, true race fuels don't just use toluene or other active ingredients to boost the octane. Instead they use better-refined hydrocarbon chains that raise octane while retaining optimal combustion characteristics.
So there it is, octane boosters tested and explained in a nutshell.

I BET THAT MAKES YO DAWG POWA FO'SHIZZA !!!!!

Well worth destroying your engine and O2 sensors!

Again, why use actual octane boosters (that are cheaper and safe) such as Klotz that raise octane significantly (not like you need it in your NA crossfire anyway) when you can use paint thinner and raise it by .2 octane and destroy your car?

Makes sense to me lmao!
