    xylene and toluene are available at any chemical supply or paint place, they're basically paint thinner. i personally like xylene because it's +/- $6/gal and, like chuck said, it's unleaded.
    if you're going to use xylene or toluene, use a higher %; something like 1gal to 3gal of 92octane, and then reset your ecu

      I like Toluene as it is found naturally in gasoline. In fact the F1 cars of the early-mid 80's used to run on 85% toluene back when they ran turbo 4 cylinders. Obviously we don't have F1 engines in our cars as noone is making 750 HP/liter, but at least we know it can be run in a gas engine as it is present in gas already.

            k...a little spendy, but not bad...hey 99slowgsx, where do you get 110 for 3.30 a gallon from, cuz that seems like it'd be cheaper just to buy that.

                        just remember, with continued use of leaded fuel, your o2 sensor will die out a lot faster because it will get gunked up

                                  i think gas will never see sub $3 costs again. no reason for them to lower it that much after were gonna be used to paying it. just like every other year

                                      the fuck is the purpose of e85...you burn it faster, it' has more corn so therefore it'll burn quicker than regular fuel. so technically you're spending more $$$ in e85 than regular gas since it's thinner and has more corn.

                                          you're talking out of your ass and disagreeing just to join the band wagon. you obviously know very little about ethanol and E85 production and use.

                                          the fucking purpose of it is that its a RENEWABLE fuel that is almost a zero emissions to burn. yes i said zero emissions, argue with me.

                                          its also 105 octane so you have a much higher potential for making power. retuning a motor to use E85 is very different from BUILDING a motor to run E85 effectivly. if you utilize the fact that it is 105 octane you can make the motor <u>almost</u> as efficient as regular fuel.

                                          and on top of many many other thigns it helps OUR farming economy around here to make it so whats the fucking point not to have E85?! OHH NOES its gets 15% worse gas mileage!! woa is me! its fucking cheaper
