  I have heard that mixing gasolines with different octane ratings
has a funny effect on the rating of the mix.  For example, mixing
1 gallon of 85 octane gas with 1 gallon of 87 octane gas yields
2 gallons of gas with an octane rating *greater than* 87.  Is this
true, or is someone taking advantage of my lack of knowledge on
the subject?

  Also, I'm told there are two main methods used to determine
octane ratings.  Does anyone know what those might be?
