I will keep you posted on my finding and DEpointfiveO when I find the paint thinner I will run any additional constituents by you and see if they will have a harmful affect. Thanks again for everyone's input. This is why I come to the 370z side of the house way more performance based

Depending on how long you'll be there and how much your total fuel cost per gallon is after adding the toluene, it still may be more cost effective to get another map to run the pump gas over there. That way you could have your 93, 91 and then a low octane map. That would also come in handy if you're evey in the middle of nowhere and don't have the option of good gas.

I will be here for a year longer then Germany for three years. So I just have to get through the next 12 months in this dilemma. Then I am sure Germany will have all the octane ranges I could ask for. Good point with the tune and that maybe another route I will check into if this fails or the cost ratio just is not going to cut it. It's not like I am drag racing here or running FI. It's more of a piece of mind with breather mods / factory gasoline octane guidelines.
