To be on the safe side, just drive like a little old lady until you use that tank up.



It's spelled "toluene".



n.



A colorless flammable liquid, CH3C6H5, obtained from coal tar or petroleum and used in aviation fuel and other high-octane fuels, in dyestuffs, explosives, and as a solvent for gums and lacquers. Also called methylbenzene.

Basically it's paint thinner with the neat side effect of raising octane levels.

Stock TII's are designed to still run on 87 it wont hurt a damn. A little more boost wont matter to much it just mainly depends on your temps if the fuel is detonating. If the motor starts knocking stop pushing it that hard. 20 bux wont last very long anyhow.

I would urge a bit more caution than that. By the time you're aware of detonation, you may have already toasted your engine. Not sure of his mod list, but any weakness in the fuel system of a car nearly 20 years old will just make the likelihood of having a problem that much worse.



Not that there's any real similarity between the two cars, but I've daily driven a Volvo turbo that "recommends" (not "requires") premium fuel on regular gas and it will ping like crazy if I run it hard. On premium, it runs sweet on full boost to redline.



Of course by now, he's surely used that tankful up. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683785.gif
