0.3 increase in octane is not going to help much

Default Tulouene (sp?) looks interesting as a performance boost

do an archive search. It's available in hardware stores as a paint solvent

Default I use Toluene......

I included a link...Very much worth reading.

Toluene doesn't contain substances like MMT or mehtanol or lead which can be damaging to your car and fuel lines.

I only fill my tank half full and add 1/2 gallon of toluene to the tank. (like to save weight instead of filling the tank full), but the ratios are included in the post in the link. Our tank is about 15.6 gals and 1 gal of toluene is efficient for that capacity/ratio. Some people put more, some put less.

You can definately feel a difference. You can buy it at any paint shop; Sherwin Williams etc.
1 gallon container is about $7.25 where I buy mine. I'd like to buy in bigger quantity so I can get a better deal, but don't wanna store it since it has a flash point higher than gas.

Just my $0.02 (it's only my opinion)

I'M AUDI HERE----------------->

Techron's a good product to be sure, but it's not an octane booster AFAIK.
