Default How do I effectively raise the octane rating of my gas?

I'm not talking about using any type of octane booster from AutoZone, or anything like that. I'm talking about the Xylene trick. I know the Buick guys do this, but I can't seem to find any info on it. They actually have a formula they use when using xylene, that raises the octane rating to around 99 or so. Does anyone know how I could do this, or point me in the right direction to finding this information? <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0"> TIA! <img src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" border="0">
