Old urban legend was that mixing premium and reg/mid-grade would give =
you octane rating higher than even the premium (due to the chemistry you =
spoke of).=20
 I've recently heard that re-formulations (of the gas) has rendered this =
trick obsolete.

  Very true Brian, although I'm not sure of the chemistry.. does mixing =
87
  and 92 necessarily result in something in between and not just a =
mixture
  of 87 and 92? I don't know too much about it, but I thought the =
various
  grades of gas had a slightly different chemical structure.

  Again, not sure.. just conspiracy-driven speculation :)

  Patrick says those tankers have 4 internal tanks, so maybe he's right. =
I
  imagine it might depend on what kind of tanker truck.. it seems =
unlikely
  to me that they're all the same. But who knows..
