Default My engine runs as if it were nuclear powered. I have to check my Tach to see that

the engine is on. I will run between 1 and 2 gallons of Toluene sometimes (I buy 5 gallon pails from my local Sherwin Williams Paint store), but never in the cold weather because it is so much heavier than gasoline and can possibly cause a stall.
Those octane booosters are ga'abage, their main ingredient is Toluene, and some use additives that are no good for the catz.

How much is it costing you in 5 gallon buckets?
