Rick,

	The "National Corvette Restorers Society" published an article
about a year ago on octane ratings and how to improve them.  For
some strange reason that was never explained, when two different
octanes are mixed as you suggested, the octane is higher than either
of the two original octanes.  I'll try to find the article and post
it again.  Also, several months back, someone talked about the ol'
moth balls in the gas tank trick.  This is suppose to increase octane
ratings also, but no one ever said how many moth balls to put in
(PLEASE, no comments on how hard it is to get their legs apart!).
