I was about ready to throw the BS flag myself, but now that I think about it, there may be a bit of science involved.

It's true that adding diesel to gas doesn't increase the OCTANE level, but diesel fuel burns much more slowly than gasoline, and requires much higher heat and pressure conditions to ignite. My thought is that the diesel "retards" the gasoline, making it less likely to preignite.
