I don't know, but it doesn't sound safe to me. To be honest, i don't notice any difference from the gas i get at the track for 5 a gallon asa opposed to the 94 i get at sunoco

We get 91 here also. The difference I felt was at 94 through 100.

the - Xylene, and Toluene work , but stay away from any of the others.
anything with Methanol or Ethanol in it will lean your car out. anything over 10% will cause big problems on a turbo car. Lean = melted pistons
if you want to run Methanol or Ethanol do it is a Alkie kit were you are not diluting your fuel with it. That way you will still get the GAS you need, then you will just be adding the Methanol or Ethanol as a octane booster

That sucks that you guys only get 91, i thought that we had to run 93 or better in our cars.

You can run anything you want but we need higher octane. 91 is fine. The manufacturer does not recommend anything less than that.
