About using octane boosters, for those of you reluctant to use toulene/xylene in your cars in large amounts, do try 100 octane rating gasoline. 2 full gallons of 100 octane with the rest of 12 gallons of 91 mix will get you right at 93. For those who can't get 93 octane gas, you are definitely missing on some extra power. The first time i switched to 91 to 93, it was amazing. First couple miles i didni't feel much difference, but after that i guess the ECU picked up the new mixture, and the car pulled like crazy at the mid-rpms. Ever since then, i made sure my car is always running on 93.
Heres what i do: I mix 1 gallon of 100 octane gasoline, and .6, .7 of a gallon of xylene, toulene. This way i don't have to much of a concentrate of toulene/xylene.
For those in bay area california: you can get 5 gallon drum of toulene/xylene at the Sherwin williams on geary st. and 12th in SF, you can get 100 octane gasoline at the pump at 76 on woodside exit on 101.
