MS 109 is 103 octane but they charge $64.00 for a 5 gallon drum. If you look at the main ingredients you'll see ......... you guessed it Xylene 
I'd love to use leaded gas like C16 but cats and o2 sensors are way too expensive on these cars. |

Ya it is just a ratio thing the equation is just ratio based on know outcomes of mixes ...I'll figure it out. I pay $8+ a gallon for 100. to get the minimum 93...If Toluene is double the price and at least double the strength, it's a bit more convenient. A little mental Calisthenics make me believe it might be a push, does sound though like you saved a few bucks
I read a couple really in depth articles on these additives, wish I could dig up the links. Theres lots of nuance. Toluene seems the pretty good because theres a lot in regular fuel anyways and, for what it's worth, the EU uses more than we do. So I guess it's pretty safe for their engines
