Pontiac Solstice Forum - View Single Post - Using Toluene as Octane Boost

toluene and xylene are old school octane boosters... they work, but with consequences. My understanding is they're corrosive to fuel lines, rings, gaskets as well as internals within injectors, can gunk injectors, etc. Basically not worth long term use. ya, it's paint thinner.
