So you mention mixing it yourself (image of you wearing a dark cloak hovering over a bubbling pinkish purple concoction in a dark sooty cauldron) - is there a reason for this? Or are you just being anal?
Would the lazy man's approach - pour and fill up work? I'd imagine the fuel crashing around in the tank would be enough of a mix?
by the way...
scalding ape? Where'd that come from?

hahahahhah THAT is a funny picture... By mix it myself, I mean that it doesn't come out of the pump that way. I just add it to the tank and figure like you do that it will mix in... So, I guess that makes me a "lazy man"
"Scalded Ape" - Doesn't it sound FAST? The normal expression is "Raped Ape", but with GrapeApe on here, I thought that might carry connotations I would rather not explore...

There are a lot of threads on this on the Supra Forums it definitely works, but apparently this toulene stuff is hard to come by in some areas, especially in larger quantities.

So is it only highly modified or boosted engines that will benefit from this? Like Rowan said, if you're not using 92 in the first place, would it make any sense to put the stuff in? Like would it be better to put the tuolene into my 4banger with 87 or just stwitch to 92? Also, is it only good for ECU'ed cars, cuz I heard toyota carbs can go south pretty quick if you put the wrong stuff in them.

I wonder if GrapeApe has had a chance to see this
I've never heard of "raped ape" either.
Oh, my ears - you've robbed me of my innocence!

It would appear to be a pretty common expression:
