Governments in some countries have mandated the maintenance of a minimum
octane level in automotive fuels such as gasoline, as lower the octane
level of fuel, higher its CO2 emission. Suppliers of automotive fuels
can either improve the purity level of their fuels or use a high-octane
additive such as toluene to increase their octane levels, and suppliers
prefer the latter due to its overall cost-effectiveness. Toluene has an
octane rating of 114, which is higher than ethanol, another popular
additive for fuels.

cycle performance in the Global Toluene Market. It helps sourcing
