racing 2 cycle

has anyone tried putting racing 2 cycle oil from a motorcycle into their tank, does this seem like a good idea I ask because I have a case of Kawasaki oil next to me and it seems like a good idea

I use Royal Purple synthetic 2-stroke racing oil. I can get it for 9.95 a quart. 1 quart per fill up. i think 15 gallons? i can also get the motor oil for 5.95

are these decent prices? I've been told I'm getting them at wholesale since I work at a dealership.

BTW, if you guys need tires, i can get some at dealer cost. You guys would have to pay 10% more (not alot) and shipping.

If you still have the omp, use 1/2 oz per gallon. Without OMP, about 1 oz per gallon.

You're putting $10 worth of synthetic in every tank? That seems a bit expensive. I think a quart of regular 2-stroke is like $1.20 or so at Wal-mart.

That would make a tank of gas more than $30.

It's not that bad, I fill up once a week. $30 bucks a week for a fill up isn't bad. Better than filling up my 97 F-150 with the 25 gal tank. That's near $50
