Toluene and Lambda probes??

[Robert Harris]

Should not be a problem.  According to the Exhaustive Gasoline Faq, regular
gasoline can contain largish quantities of toluene depending on where in the
world you are.

What effect does Toluene at say 10% concentration in Super Unleaded 
have on a normal lambda sensor? Sorry for all the Lambda sensor 
contaminant questions,we are more used to race engines that don't run 
them.I was considering adding Toluene to my 94 Supra twin turbo,as an 
anti detonant if I play with raising the boost a bit.Good idea ?

Thanks.
