A little OT but is there an equation for calculating the end fuel octane when you mix say 'V' power with a 105 race fuel and does that specify the quantities involved?

Pump Fuel (a) Petrol: Motor Gasoline of the type on sale to the general public from UK roadside filling stations (see Appendix 1): BS4040 (leaded) subject to possession of a valid permit for use, LRG (unleaded) in lieu of a BS or EN standard (TBA), BS EN 228 (unleaded) and BS7800 (super-unleaded). Petrol is a product refined from crude oil that contains a large number of identifiable compounds that can typically be 250 in number. These compounds can be identified and compared to the available petrol from major oil companies and suppliers. Unless otherwise stated or the distinction is made between leaded and unleaded petrol, the motor gasoline fuel shall meet the following: Acceptance levels for Octane Numbers will be accepted or neglected according to the Standard ASTM D.3244. Only additives to this Motor Gasoline Fuel solely for the purpose of lead replacement are allowed. Lead Replacement Gasoline (LRG, also known as LRP): Lead replacement gasoline (LRG also known as LRP): Only additives to unleaded motor gasoline, solely for the purpose of lead replacement, from Sodium, Phosphorous or Manganese are allowed, subject to application according to manufacturer’s instructions and to the treated fuel complying with (B) Appendix 1. Lead in excess of EU Directive 98/70 EC requirements is illegal. This also applies to ‘Free Fuel’.
