200:1 is the nominal ratio for optimum results ie, not too much, not too little.






Can you break that down for this 'old man'.... tonydca says to add 1/3 of a 1 litre 2-stroke to 60 litres approx? :?
Correct.

1/3 would equal 1 litre of oil per 180 Litres of Diesel which is pretty darn close 8-) I don't think this is an exact science :-D

howes isnt for economy, it is for antigel and upper cylender lube properties. If you guys want insight, the trucking industry has been improving fuel economy for 65 yrs. there is a huge differance in summer/winter gas aswell...always has been. they treat ALL fuel to be stored in moisture rich(incliment) weather, and this usually affects performance. If you are going to use two stroke oil, please use high quality synthetic(ie:amsoil 100:1) you could easily go 400:1 and not burn excess fossil fuel.

That is correct. L300 + L400 = L700.
