So, just to be clear here: E85 has AKI index of 94-96. Premuim gasolene has AKI rating of 91-93 depending on the state you get it. That number is written on the pump!
DO NOT confuse RON ratings with AKI ratings when you are blending fuels!
EDIT:
To get 14 gallons of E30, one needs to blend 4 gallons of E85 and 10 gallons of AKI 93 fuel. This will end up achieving 14 gallons of E31 and the AKI rating would be 93.3 which is just 0.3 bump in AKI from what you normally get out of the pump

I suspect you cannot compare or calculate octane rating of E85 the same as gasoline. The resistance to detonation is comparable to race fuel like c116.
