Toluene is a minor component of pump gas. The main ingredients of pump gas are aliphatic hydrocarbons, not aromatic. You gotta look this stuff up. There is also concern that toluene could be carcinogenic, since benzene is, and their structures are so similar. An additional concern is that you may be taking your octane rating too high with this method; at some point, not only are you inhibiting pre-detonation (a good thing), but limiting detonation as well. I know a guy who used to use t-butyl alcohol as an octane booster (it has an octane rating of 107), but his engine ran like crap. I'm just saying - toluene may not be the magic elixir you're looking for.
