Atkins Rotary FAQ -- WTF?

http://www.atkinsrotary.com/engineQA.htm#36

Q. Is it safe to put oil in the tank when I fill up my car?

A. This is only good for race cars as it will damage the cats.


I was a little surprised by this. I think they should qualify this question and it's answer. What do ya think?

They should either remove that Q/A or revise it:

Q: Is it safe to mix 2-cycle oil with my gas each time I fill up my car?

A: Yes! 2-cycle oil is designed to burn cleanly, thus, mixing this type of oil with the gas in the correct ratio will lubricate the apex seals and won't harm your catalytic converter.
