Xylene should work too. They are both in the hundred teens as far as octane. I have read that you should not run more than 20% or so when mixed with gas. I got some from a paint supply store one time. It might be cheaper to just go with race gas, unless you can buy the toluene/xylene in 55 gallon drums or something rediculous like that. It is much cheaper than buying those little bottles of octane booster though.

Look in the tech forum, we just had a nice big thread on toluene and theres some good links in there...I'm feeling nice so here's the link https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=319529

Xylene works also thought I haven't read up on it as much

Xylene is a little bit lower octane than Toulene.

just DO NOT get this stuff on your skin, as your body will absorb it, and it will cylce througout your body for up to 60 days!
