Answer: So long as the oils form a stable solution, you know that their chemical potentials (and hence vapor pressures) are lower in the mixture than they are separately. Hence the boiling point (the temperature where the total vapor pressure is 1 atmosphere) is raised above the value of the lowest of the constituents
