"Mix a 32oz can of Torco Accelerator to 10 gallons of 91 Premium Unleaded to make an efficient 102 octane race gas, mix with 5 gallons of premium unleaded to make whopping 105 Octane" Use this as your basis. If adding torco to 10 gallons gives you an octane boost of 11 octane and adding torco to 5 gallons gives you an octane boost of 14 octane. 100+11=111 for 10 gallons and 100+14=114 for 5 gallons.

There is about a 21.4% increase in the octane rating as the amount of gallons drops by 1/2. So 2.5 gallons will give you 117.8 octane. 1.25 gallons will give you 122.6 octane. I'm pretty sure my math is correct.

I looked over my math again. It is correct I just stated the above wrong. As the amount of gallons decreased by the rate of 1/2 the octane amount will increase exponentially. The 21.4% increase I had stated was the increase from the 111 to 114 as the number of gallons decreased by 1/2.
