I guess no one has responded because this question has been answered ad infinitum on this forum. Do a search for "premix", and you'll get more answers than you can shake a (dip) stick at. -WG

So does this work like a 2-stroke dirtbike.... if I let it idle for 10 minutes, then hammer on the gas, it'll smoke out the neighbours?

I'm guessing not, seeing as how the ratio is so low...

2 8oz bottles here too. As far as gas. Wish they had Sunoco 86 down here but don't so I go with Mobil 87. Anything higher and your wasting money unless you're running some type of forced induction system (turbo, supercharger)

I run about a quart per tank in my streetcar, mostly because I'm not 100% sure the oiling lines are working, and I'd rather kill some mesquitoes than blow my engine.

A lot of racers premix, for various reasons, including not wanting to kill their engines if the oiling system fails, and getting rid of it all together. I think more engines have died because they didn't get enough oil than too much.

I used to run 150:1 and it smoked really bad during WOT.
