What ratio are you using when you figured that? For street driven vehicle, 200:1 is acceptable. Closer to constant high RPM's and racing, 128:1 is the target.

I put in 16 OZ into every fill up. the pre-mix is about 1.60 a quart. Given that i only use half of that for a fill up and i get an extra 35 miles that is about a gallon and a half rounding down. a gallon of gas(regular) is 1.45. I am saving cash. THe Pre-mix is Coastal and is TCW-3 so it is the good stuff.

there black because your running rich , you can buy TCW-3 for like 99 cents a quart at walmart , I use 4-8oz as a back up in addition to my OMP

I'm still waiting to finish the Ram Air Intake I spoke awhile back about. From there, It's dyno time!

I can give you stats for OMP, OMP and premix and this summer I'll be recording just premix. I'll have to calc the first two stats before I can post them, though. I keep a fuel log.

premix with omp?
Is it bad to use premix while still using my omp? I've been using it for two week and I've notice better idle and an overall nicer ride. 87' TII with 7,578 mile on a mazda reman. engine, stock.

No it is just like insurance incase your OMP is not operating properly. i would take that thing off and feel a lot better though.

Opinions are like........
From 280 to 315 miles to a tank is an excellent improvement.
I agree that the plugs are probably working better. Don't forget that the oil is design for that type of lubrication and is working better than burning motor oil.
Another thing to consider is that the engine is running 1% leaner because the oil is taking place of the gas exiting the fuel injector.
Racingbeat mentions that oil ratio chosen should reference actual power output. T2's need more oil than NA's. But, I prefer to lean toward a safer 128:1 vs 164-312:1 for my NA.
Another thing to consider is to monitor actual engine oil consumption prior to removing OMP/MOP. Driving style(abuse) should be considered when choosing a ratio.

I only have seen smoke twice out of my car. BOth were after redlining first gear. I am still running a bit rich though. I never see smoke out the mufflers normaly. it runs like it always did but with a better idle and more miles to the tank.
