There are also certain amounts used to calculate this, such as "adds 7 octane points to 5 gallons of fuel." This will make 5 gallons of 89 octane into 89.7 octane, assuming a perfect, optimistic blend. I feel this is still over what its effective octane would be.

You'd have a better experience adding toluene alone to your fuel.
