IMO putting xylene in your fuel is a waste of time and money

I have used xylene as a thinner it evaporates faster than gasoline.
There are different brands and different chemicals added to xylene to make it stronger or weaker chemical agent. It can also be made by a chemist to be used for specific applications. If you want to boost your octane buy race gas

because this is way cheaper than race gas and the octane is higher.
