Toluene

R+M/2...114

Cost...$2.50/gal

Mixtures with 92 Octane
Premium
10%...94.2 Octane
20%...96.4 Octane
30%...98.6 Octane

Notes: Common ingredient in Octane Boosters in a can. 12-16 ounces will only raise octane 2-3 *points*, I.e. from 92 to 92.3. Often costs $3-5 for 12-16 ounces, when it can be purchased for less than $3/gal at chemical supply houses or paint stores.

Easily available, toxic and a little risky but some exotic car lovers swear by it. Never tried it myself. Probably won't.
