Sorry, I checked back, and I got this thread confused with another
similar one that involved discarding old gas with 2-stroke oil mixed
into it, which WILL ruin a catalytic converter, and potentially plug
injectors.

That will not likely cause a problem.
Consider this. Most car manufacturers today believe that a quart of oil
every 1,000 miles is acceptable. (I don't, but that is another issue). In
any case they are talking about burning a quart of engine oil in 1,000 miles
That would be a quart of oil in maybe 40 gallons of gas. Mixing a gallon of
2 cycle mix with say 10 gallons of gas would give you far less oil per
gallon than the manufacturer says is safe, and it is oil designed to burn in
an engine unlike engine oil.
Damn, there is always someone who bring up an
unassailable point.
Like you, I don't think 1 qt of oil per 1000 miles
is ok, but Ford does. Luckily, the oil level in
my truck stays pretty level, not down more than
1/2 qt maximum after 3000 hard miles. Otherwise,
it would go away real quick and become a Chevy or
a Dodge.
