I have done that, its cheaper to buy premium. Both Toluene and Xylene are over $15 per gallon, even more expensive if you buy smaller quantities. To get even 1 octane rating higher you need 1 gallon per tank

Toluene and Xylene will not harm your seals, they are already in gasoline Acetone however could in large enough quantities though I have used that in small doses with minimal improvements so I stopped.

This is a very good write up of octane and toluene
