Default Sherwin Williams, CAREFULLY pour into tank with gas can (spills will eat paint)
and turn ignition key to on position to mix fuel up.

Toluene is about 114 octane so set up a ratio to determine your overall octane.

30% on 93 octane pump gas will net approx 100 octane overall.

It won't "eat" the paint.

Default Automotive paint is fairly durable...but it did turn the paint on my dad's shed to putty.
I would be careful with the stuff.

Default Dad's shed != your car
Two different paints. A standard household paint will dissolve when exposed to toluene. Automotive paint won't.

I've used Xylene. It's slightly more potent than Toluene.

Default Sir, I'm just extra careful (****) when it comes to my paint. :-)
No problem. It's good to know I'm being a little over paranoid.
