Adding ANYTHING other than the cyclohexane family of aromatics or some of the
more exotic fuels (i.e. nitromethane) will lower octane. Remember, octane is a
fuel's ability to supress pre-ignition - it really has nothing to do with power
output.
With that said and done, adding motor oil or pre-mix will lower octane, period.
Pre-mix is designed to burn cleanly, so it won't affect octane as much as
motor oil does.
We usually recommend to run about 150:1 ratio for street, minimum. Race ratios
are 100:1 - 75:1 ratios, minimum.
