Default A New Fuel Addititive

Been following this thread....

They recommend adding 1oz of two stroke motor oil (the ashless variety used in ultra lean running outboard engines, not the general purpose stuff) per 5 gal of gas in motorcycle and high performance car engines. Claimed 2-5% mpg increase and longer engine life.

read article for more info..

yeah, outboard motors have always been known for getting good gas mileage...so if you use 4 ounces per 5 gallons you should get at least 10% better mileage. might even be able to hire out as a mosquito fogger if you mix it heavy enough. p.t. barnum was right.

I'll stick with the Stabil fuel additive for ethanol gas and hope for the best.
