Its possible to run near straight up toluene but make sure to add a tad bit of motor oil.

Its an expensive habit, I don't suggest you get into it unless you like to burn through cash.

If you want to buy high octane I also suggest buying one of those 5 gallon drums of VP instead of the pump. I suspect what's sold at the pump doesn't sell well and could be quite old.
What is VP?
