Toluene is already in ALL comercial grade gasoline. Read the ingredients. MSDS's are a very good source for info.

All your doing is increasing the amount of toluene in the gas. If your worried about build up and fouled plugs the can octane boosters with MMT is even worse. Google it you'll find articles on BMW, Chevy, ect forums of that stuff fouling up plugs.
And unlike E85 which was stated that has higher oct, but less energy per volume than 93 gas. Toluene is the opposite. It has a higher energy content per volume than gas.
Though get unleaded race gas. Let the experts get the toluene mixture right.
