You can mix them but like was said it's inconsistent.It's not like 50/50 93 octane and 103 octane makes 98 octane.I have added some race fuel if I'm getting some detonation,but it's just a crutch.

just run a reliable 100 unleaded since it's not a daily driver

Yeah, I have friends that have done it several times, as long as you aren't trying to mix a huge difference in octane and your tune isn't a race gas ONLY tune you will be okay.

wish this was available. im not trying to make a huge difference in octane and i say the car isnt a daily driver but im still going to be taking it out sometimes to places im not gunna intend to race, so full race gas is to expensive for that

unfortunately race gas doesnt save you from spinning bearings.
