As a "mad Scientist" type, I would advise you to be REAL careful with toluene - It is extremely volatile and flammible, and I have personally seen a small quantity of the stuff exploded by static electricity on a windy day. It is a potent liver toxin - the stuff in model airplane glue that kids used to sniff. It is instantly transmitted into the blood stream by inhalation, and is absorbed through the skin nearly as quickly.

It can boost performance, but is very hard on rubber and plastics (hence its use in glue). Spilling it on metal filings can cause a fire. One person I knew used toluene in his VW - needed to replace some fuel lines and filters 6 months after he started using the stuff, and ALL his valves were burned 3 months after that. I would steer away from the napthalenes/toluenes, etc. To me, asking for more performance on your 500E is a little like Britney Spears asking for a face lift!
