Does anyone have any experience or knowledge of using toluene (or any similar products) as an octane booster?

Well, I've been using this stuff for a few months now and the gains are definitely noticeable. I feel a stronger low-end pull than before. I am also very impressed with the gained fuel mileage. Before I would get about 220-230 miles to a tank. Now, with one gallon of toluene to a tank, I'm getting 280-290 miles in town, which equates to 18 mpg up to 22 mpg in town. I'll keep posting my findings.
