Premium Required? Not Necessarily

[blackshine007]

With the shortage of premium, has anyone tried a mix of toluene? I remember reading about it before and used it at the track 3 years ago. I figured it may help since I did end up spraying that day

Currently, I have about 2-3 gallons of 93 left. I figured I can make a mix with 87 and toluene. If I did it now, it looks like I could end up around 95 octane.

Toluene will work but it's not very injector or O2 sensor friendly. It will eventually eat the seals out. Not immediately, though. Besides, that stuff costs at least $10/gal so for what it's worth, I'd ride out the regular until premium returns.

Yea, I've heard that as well. Its recommended to run some type of additive. I've heard you can use atf, but i've heard marvel's mystery oil will work well too.
