Default check the "ingredients" make sure it's only toluene. Pour it out into a semi-clear container and

look for sediment/particulants. You may want to use a strainer or something of the sort to collect any of it.

Default Where did you get yours? Obviously, mine was from ACE...was about 10$

I'll check tonight or whatever for the additives.

Default I have to ask, if it's 11.00/gallon why not just buy race gas? 2 gallons will provide more octane

boost when mixed with 13 gallons of 91 than 1 gallon of toluene in 14 gallons of 91... and you save a couple bucks =)

Default I usually only get it when I am going to fill up with 100. I run it down

until there are a couple gallons left then add the gallon of toluene and top off with race gas.

Default should be. I get 5gal cans for $19.50 from a local independent paint store.

Shirwin &amp; Williams wanted $39. I couldn't believe the price gap.

I mix it with 93 or 94 that's left in the tank and then top off with Sunoco 94.

That usually puts it at 100-101 octane that I use with my GIAC XR chip.
