    Here's a script I made to calculate percent mixes and the price per gallon for a target octane. There are 2 lines, one for mixing high octane fuel and the other for mixing toluene.

    edit: to answer your question: about 25%

    I ran some tests last summer and decided 92 nonoxy is great. However, I recently switched FROM non-oxy BP 92 TO regular BP92 (with ethanol). I logged my timing advance before and after and AFTER switching to regular 92 I gained 3-6 degrees of timing advance.

    My theory is that the non-oxy fuel I've been using is stale and has partly evaporated. This winter has been relatively snow-less so there hasn't been much non-oxy fuel purchased by snowmobilers. BTW, the non-oxy fuel I buy is from the BP off 494 and bass lake rd in Plymouth.


    Long story short: I'm staying away from non-oxy until next summer
