The volatility should be the average of the two.


I don't know that I would assume that - vapor pressure can have some
non-linear behavior. Example: When you add ethanol, the vapor pressure
with
10% is higher than the vapor pressure at either 0% or 85%...


I am not disagreeing, but do wonder where this information is
available?

Thanks, George



I've seen it at work - no help to you, eh?

There are a number of SAE papers covering this. e.g.
