PRE-mix fuel!!
I just bought a 91, n/a. Its been rebuilt and only has 8k on the engine and tranny.
The owner before me premixed his gas with two stroke oil with a ratio of .75-.100ounce/ gallon. What is the purpose of this and is it needed and or helpful. Can i just run regular unleaded or will it cause the seals to wear faster.

if the car is setup for strictly premixing then to not premix will kill the engine in a short period of time. i run premix at 100:1 which is about 1 ounce of 2 stroke per gallon of fuel. premixing helps to lubricate the internals of the engine more uniformly rather than the peak of the apex seal causing premature grooving of the rotor housings.
drawbacks of running premix is that it is not good for your catalytic converter and it causes a slight rise in emissions.

You sure it wasn't 1 fluid ounce a gallon?
Find out if the car has the stock MOP (i.e. oil injection pump), and whether or not it's working. If it doesn't, or it isn't working, then you need to keep premixing or fix the MOP. Not doing so will cause your motor to fail prematurely.
Not to go off topic, but I've never seen this substantiated. TCW3 burns cleaner than most/all lubricating sump oils. I personally passed California's smog tests with amazing results in my TII, while running 100:1.

not all of the oil will burn completely and it will retain some of the hydrocarbons from the combustion, it is usually not enough to cause a good tuned car to fail but it could cause a borderline car to fail.
it also leaves a nice slimey black residue on the back of my car, lol.

Here is a scan from my '86 when it was still N/A. Im not sure why I always hear of everyone having emissions troubles, Ive owned mayn RX-7s , and they all have been very clean cars. This was done with a RB header, single Bonez H-F cat, Greddy cat-back.
Notice the CO ( or lack of ), and very low hydrocarbon readings.

Those are amazing numbers. I thought that when gas burned it produced co2.... somehow you appear to be burning non carbon based? It is also really strange that your numbers stayed the same despite the rpm tripling.
I want a car like yours lol.
Mine just barely made the HCs after fixing my alternator which was loading my alternator. I will have to get a cat like yours. Maybe I'll add an electric air pump to completely dilute my mixture too.
My HC numbers were low in the 190s and high in the 350s.
To the subject as to not completely jack the thread....
Supposedly premix will burn more cleanly in our engines that normal oil because it is supposed to burn versus normal oil isn't. I would suspect that if you had your omp fed from 2 stroke oil it would drastically decrease your emissions.

BTW, I forgot to mention: on top of this, the motor had a pretty agressive intake and exhaust port.

Try it lubricates the internals with less carbon-after ash then the stock lubrication method.
If I wasn't at work I'd say senerior techs forever underimpose networks...and i'd make a cool acronym for it like.. STFUN

yeah, emmisions are the ghey!!
but a question, anyone having any problems with there injectors after premixing?? i am thinking about doing it.
also, i know theres a search button, but if someone has a link or anything of how to properly remove the OMP that would be great

Since the numbers are percentages, not absolutes, there is no reason they shouldn't stay the same. They might even go down since you get better combustion at higher RPMs.
