i wouldnt
it would be inconsistent and the oil and all that good stuff would be bad

so use up one first then use the second

All you're doing is mixing the different attributes of each fuel. Theoretically all you should end up with is a fuel relatively similar to each of the others depending upon what ratios you mix.

nitro, if you break-in fuel was also 16% nitro and you mix equal parts you'll just end up with a slightly more oily version of your 16% fuel. With a slight re-tune it should rune fine...
