Default Mixing 2 different fuel mixes together

I know i should not do it , but.......

If I was to mix 2 premixed fuels together, both fresh. 1 equal quart exactly of each, what would the mix of nitro, oil & meth become?

Fuel no1 - 30% nitro, 9% oil, 61% methanol

Fuel no2 - 20% nitro, 12% oil, 68% methanol

Would it not be:

25% - 10.5% - 64.5%

I started off doing this 2 years ago mixing two different fuel blends from the one supplier to get the nitro & castor oil content that i wanted, did it for 12 months before the supply suggested making the blend i wanted...

Never had any issues with it and used to mix up 8 x 4 litres bottles at a time, purchased a funnel that i only use for mixing the fuel and cleaned out old fuel bottles as they where emptied and let them dry out properly before mixing 50/50 and boxing them and putting them away in a dark cool place in my laudry cupboard.

1 was 25% nitro 9% syn 5% castor ( had to much castor )
1 was 30% nitro 9% syn 2% castor ( didnt have enough castor )

this way i got the mix i wanted and been really happy with it over two years now, so now it gets mixed up as 30% nitro 8% syn 4% castor so a total of 12% oils and could not be happier with this mix.
