I sometimes run a min of 4 gallons of VP 101 per tank to create a ~93 mix. Overall cost per gal for the 91/100 mix isn't bad, I created a simple Excel table that tells me how much 101 to add to achieve 93 depending on tank level, assuming 1/4, 1/2, 3/4 tank marks are correct. Like others have said, based on tests by reputable people this car adjusts timing/power up with increased octane up to at least 100 oct, so you can't add too much 100. At the track I add more for heat.
