Re: Woohoo! 87 Octane + 110 degree weather + 10.8:1 compression Well, after calling a few places, seems Xylene and Toluene are $10 a gallon more or less from hardware stores.
I found an Ace Hardware that sells Xylene for $7.99/gallon and I might just dump in a gallon every fill up just to be safe.

Certainly you can drive that car "sane" for a couple of weeks.

Re: Woohoo! 87 Octane + 110 degree weather + 10.8:1 compression I just parked my beast last nite . . . after roaming around looking for gas, only 1 out of 5 in my area had it and the lines were crazy even at 10pm 
.
Matt, the Home Depot right around the corner from me sells Xylene . . . and so do most paint stores. But if you found it for 7.99 that's a good price, stick with that. And it DOES work, I've run it before.
Now all I've got to drive is my Metro @ 55 screaming horsepower.
