Umm, no. Pain thinner probably isn't the same as tuluene, I think it is alchohol based. Toluene and Xylene have much more suitable burning characteristics for car that run on pump gas.
BTW, I don't think you signature will last long.

2 Gallons of Xylene (Westenhoffer Hardware on Preston, $10.95 each): $21.90
16 oz of Mineral Spirits: Already in my garage
8 oz of Marvel's Mystery Oil (1/2 a 16oz bottle): $1
8 Gallons of pump premium (Amoco @1.68/gal): $13.44
Grand Total: $36.34 for 10 gallons, or $3.63/gallon
What do you get?
Well, Xylene (20% of the mixture) is 117 octane, the gas (80%) is 93, so (117*0.20) + (93*0.80) = 97.8 octane.
