so I would not use too heavy of a ratio. Say you have a 10 gallon tank. If you add 3 gallons of 108 and 7 gallons of 93 (pump premium), then your octane rating would be 97.5. Half and half would put the rating at 100.5.
Since the car should run without the lead, the ratio you select is pretty much up to your wallet.
OR
As Richard suggested, try the lead substitutes. I had forgotten about those! They sell those at most Pep Boys, Trak Autos, Car Quests, etc. I've never used one, so I can't speak to their quality. I have used 110 octane gas in my SPG (no mixing), and it was, uh, FUN! :o)
