A 1 to 1 mix will get you pretty dam close, maybe a TINY bit on the high side.

What is the octane of the C-16? - 1/2 x (a + b) - still remember some of algebra! LOL

I dont have the research octane, but motor octane is 117 on vp c16

I have a 54 gallon drum of this stuff in garage ready for ths season now

Right now with a 50/50 mix you would be at 104 - 1/2x(91+117)=104 - there are blending charts for lower octance fuels out there but none for the higher octanes - I think the reason is most of the fuel over 110 octane is leaded - the C16 is a leaded fuel and they don't recommend blending leaded fuel with unleaded fuel - what are you planning on running it in?

Just use C-12 it's 110 and doesnt have a bunch of crap in it like Regular pump fuel.

Or you could go with the Streetblaze 101 or if you have a Rockett Fuel distributor near you, you could go with their 100 - both are unleaded - both Rockett and Sunoco have locations that you can buy 100 right at the pump

I mixed 114 Leaded w/92 regular last year w/o any problems. I mixed 3 gal of the 114 w/ 7 gal of the 92 which gave me 98.6. I ran 10 psi boost w/totally stock motor all year w/o any probs.

Wrong. You need to go by the motor octane of 91 pump fuel, which is closer to 86-87. Mixing leaded and unleaded is fine, no harm.

so I use the 117+86 / 2 is 50%-50% mix right>

86 being the motor octane!

Correct.

The fuel companies don't use the motor octance in their charts
