running toulene cause cancer

will putting toulene in your car have harmful effects from the fumes in the long run. say if you only put 1 gallon per fill up in your car.
I know the fumes by themselfes are harmful, but what about after combustion?

I have no information about toulene, but I'm fairly confident sucking on the exhaust fumes of a car with or without additives is harmful to your health.

I can't remember if it was Sweeden or Norway, but they studied the population that used cell phones over the past 10 years and decided that it doesn't cause tumors or cancer. Food for thought.

So, we don't have to worry about cancer from Toluene ... just the PD investigating your home in search of a meth lab.
