I get 101 trick racing fuel for 4.69 by the gallon or discounted when i get 55 gallon drums. Sherman Williams sells toluene for 5.XX per gallon when u buy a 5 gallon jug of it. Here is a mixing chart for 100 octane and 91. Before I used strictly 101 octane for the evo I was mixing 2 gallons of Toluene with 12 gallons of 91 octane. Worked great.

If you are mixing Xylene or Toulene in excess of 10% I would recommend adding in a lubricant such as Automatic Tranny Fluid. Also, gas companies already use these chemicals to raise the octane level of gasoline to begin with. As long as the aromatic content (Xylene or Toulene) of the mixture does not go above 46% I believe it is, it is still defined as gasoline and perfectly safe to use in your car. Considering that the proper amount of lubricant is added to the mix in addition to the chemicals.

Here is a fuel blending calculator.

wow... so much easier to live in va and buy 93 or 94 at the pump. But I guess the nice weather and beaches of Cali are worth it? Chris?

Down here in South FL, 93 Octane is available everywhere. I am trying to find a place that sells 100.

I lived in Nova (VA) for 6 years. Rain and ****ty weather everyday. the best thing is Sanco 94 gas for $1.97 every day in McLean. However I never found 100 there of the pump. Here in Ca 100 is of the pump for $5.19 . (crazy). however, the weather the beach is well worth it.

The cost of what i'm suggesting is $7.99 for a tank or like $8.99 for the MAX booster .... a min of 3-4 gallons of 100 octane is needed to make 93-94 octane... which in my eyes is 15-20 bux

76 stations here in Vegas have 100 at the pump for 3.95. I put 3.5 gallons, then fill with 91. Much easier to pump it right in and be on your way. I totally feel a difference over just straight 91.

^ That's a huge price difference between So Cal and Vegas for 100. I wonder why?

91 gas is only within a few cents of each other.
