    Pump gas/toulene mixtures-higher octane rating

    thats a common misconception. you'll want to run higher octane if you're boosting more, but on a relitavely stock car, or even mildly modded, you'll get the best performance out of running the lowest octane possible without detonation/pinging. -shaeff
