Poppycock. Toluene is an aromatic hydrocarbon that mixes just peachy with gasoline directly. I know . . . I've done it. It's not like nitro methane, which does NOT mix with gas (nitro propane does . . . not recommended though) Toluene does have a different viscosity though. So in particularly cold climates, you really don't want go beyond 10-15% as it will cause the gas to become almost syrrupy. Maybe that's what you're thinking of. Carbed applications might plausibly require some other component to bring the viscosity of the Toluene mixture down to the same level of gas. Probably not such an issue for Fuel Injection.

As for you comments on likely causes of trouble, I agree.
