where i live here in nova scotia canada, i cant get 93 octane at the pump. 91 is the highest. is there any way of gaining 2 points in octane. i know most of the octane boosters you can buy at part stores and walmart are mostly junk. so any info is great.

Research toluene and you'll see how to do it.

Personally.. I'd add a bit of mavels mystery oil too.

yeah that would be an option to. but my girlfriend would say different. i just hate how we only have 91 octane. when i lived in edmonton, alberta you could get 94 octane at the husky gas station's.

so how much toluene do i mix with a tank of fuel? and how safe is it to use?

Research it. You'll need to use mostly toluene and add a few other things to it. It's not hard.. just research it and you'll be able to blend your own for less than buying racing fuel.

Torco flat out...unless you start mixing race fuel.
Now while yes the octane boosters you buy at the parts store will work...you will need soo much of the stuff its both pointless and your truck will run like ass
