Fuel Octane Question

[GBowman]

At the risk of embarrassment here is my question...how do I calculate octane if I am mixing race fuel with pump gas?

Is it as simple as...10 Gal of 93 oct & 1 Gal of 110 oct = 94.5 oct in the tank

Meaning 930 + 110 = 1040 / 11 = 94.5 ???

Or am I missing something?

Thx!

The calculator comes up with 10.03 Gallons of 93 octane and .97 gallons of 110 octane. I'd say that was reasonably close!
