Basic question pertains to Ideal mixture and their deviation from ideal behavior.

The answer to your question depends on what components are you mixing.

If you are adding more than 15% ethanol to your blend then yes there will be a shrinkage and you will have to get back to your laboratory to check for the factor.

General blending of Isomerate,Reformate,FCC Naphtha,SR Naphtha or DHT Naphtha to the MS pool has quiet minimal shrinkage. (they are quiet similar family of HCs)
