When you go to a Shell or Mobil gas station, they have 3 storage tanks under ground for the gasoline. One contains regular, one mid grade, and one plus. When you go to a Sunoco, which (at least in my area) offers 4 or 5 different octane choices, there are only 2 underground tanks. One contains 87 octane, and the other contains the high test. When you choose something in the middle of those extremes, you get a fresh, proportionate blend out of the two tanks ! So, yes, octane can be "averaged"
