There's an SAE paper on the restriced boost F1 engines. I don't have the
number handy though. They ran something like 86% toluene/14% xylene to
achieve the mandated (R+M)/2 of 96ish octane. The toluene needed to be
warmed under certain conditions because it doesn't vaporize very well.
Because of their wacky fuel, I don't know how much can be applied to your
average turbo engine.
