Blended diesel gel points?

I did a quick google, but was not able to find much info very quickly.

I am wondering if there is a chart or something, that will show the approx. gel points of blended diesel. I ask, as I have the option of filling with 80/20, 70/30, and 60/40 of #2/#1 within a short distance of my home.

I don't want to run any more of the #1 than I have to, for MPG's. Cost of these are within a few pennys, so.. Can someone point me to where I can find what I should run for an expected low temp range?

This is mostly for my FYI, than anything else I guess.. as I do add some Howe's all the time for lube value of it, but I would like to know about the blending.

Thanks! .
