Single mix ratio means only one gas can needed for all mix ratios whether engine requires 32:1, 40:1 or 50:1. Also contains 24 month fuel stabilizer. Comments?

About a $1.95 for a single pouch that mixes with one gallon of gas.

I used it in the 90s to keep up around the grain bins at a grain elevator I worked at. String trimmers ran fine on it. I t did not seem to work as well on a couple Tecumseh two strokes though. None of the outboard guys use it around the city lakes here. At the gas station 30 miles away I saw a couple folks mixing five gallon fuel cans with it for outboards but most everyone else was using something else. There is a small group here that fly radio controlled planes that use it or Amsoil.

Have be men using it for the last 4 years and have had no problems. Have used it in 24/1, 32/1, 40/1, 50/1 engines. Sure saves on gas can storage. One thing, it is an air cooled 2cycle oil, not a liquid cooled 2 cycle oil. There is a difference.

Thanks Rivets and possum for your opinions. I am going to look for a local distributor and give it a try. I like the fact of the versatility of one gas can single mix along with the 24 month stabilizer for the price is quite economical. All my 2 cycle engines are air cooled so it should work well for me.
