i wouldn't dare use 25% toluene. 10-15% max (1-2 gals w/ a full tank of 91)

Really? I thought up to 30% was OK. At least for occasional use or with some MMO....

$13 a gallon is steep, I bought 30gals of VP109 for ~$9.60. Sunoco 100 is $5.44 @ the pump here.

Default My local VP retailer wants $65 for 5 gal, $597 for 54 gal, not incl. shipping from the distributor.
Trick 101 is $6.25 at the pump. I'll probably shop around a bit at other VP retailers. I imagine fuel prices are a bit volatile right now....
