So using that info, your calculation is a bit off...
And in CA you can't buy Toluene actually (just saw the OP is in CA)

I used to use Toluene a LOT back in the day, so I've done all the calculations and figures... I HAD an excel sheet too, but I recently deleted it because it's just not worth the cost...



And about the need to add lubricants, you don't need to add any if you use Toluene, but you'd need to use something like Marvel Mystery Oil if you used Xylene
Ohh crap sorry. I was mixing up RON with AKI
