Once again, the ratio specified by the manufacturers had more to do
with the oil technology at the time then with the engine
technology/design. 2 cycle oils have improved so much that even the
old 16:1 engine recomendations get better lubrication using 40-50:1
assuming the newer oils are used. (the old 16:1 oils were probably
Group I dino's where the new 50:1 oils are typically a highly advanced
synthetic.)

You don't need a seperate jug for each mix as long as you use a modern
2 cycle oil. I've done research and Mobil MX2T is one of the best.

This isn't rocket science:

1. Buy 1 gallon of fresh premium fuel
2. Measure 3 oz of Mobil MX2T in a plastic measuring cup
3. Add it to the gas and shake the jug
4. Replace this mix every season.

Use this mix in everything that needs 2 cycle fuel mix. The ratio of
oil to fuel is based on oil technology vs engine technology!!

Hi,
True. But the mix ratio is anywhere from 1:25 to 1:100.
How can your mix cover all 2 cycle engines? I have only weed eater and
chain saw using oil mix, and yes, I have only one jug for both.
But everything? There are so many 2 cycle engines out there.
Also I use old mix if left over and there has been no problem.
Both engines start on couple pulls every spring.
