I agree Toluene is not the safest material to handle. But it is already a component of gasoline, given that one need not contact it directly to dispense it into the tank, the risk is minimal. Benzene and Xylene are much more harmful.
Before this discussion began, I saw some Sherwin Williams Toluene solvent at a friends commercial spray shop, and the sub-label read Toluol (the alcohol form of Toluene). I did not have time to look further, but I wonder how blended the two compounds are and how much of an effect the oxygenated product has on the octane rating.
