time to clean those fuel injectors and make that engine ROAR! I love this stuff - don't touch, don't breath, don't even think combustible thoughts. Makes my engine really happy though. Only $23!

You can run it straight if you want,....
but usually you add about a gallon per tank. It's the equivalent of those octane boosters you buy in the auto parts stores for a forture. Apparently it used to be used as fuel in Formula 1 or Indy or something until they restricted the octane. I don't think there's any downside to running it as concentrated as you'd like. You just do a fuel volume to octane ratio to determine the resulting octane in your tank. Do a search and I'm sure you'll find a ton of info.

i wouldnt recommend running it straight. the car will not run well .. if at all.
toulene is rated @ 114 octane. even on the 104 octane .. your car will NOT run right.
just think about what "octane" ratings are.

No, only up to the point where you it doesn't ping/knock
If the engine doesn't ping or knock, you don't need higher octane. Putting 105 Race gas (or a high toluene ratiomix) in a stock engine will be overkill - it will never ping/knock. Even for 93 chips, super high octane won't do anything.
