I tried my first tank with 1 quart of tcw-3 in it last week. The engine was quieter within 15 miles of dumping it in the tank. I'll check the mileage friday when I top the truck off for the weekend. At 8.00 a gallon it's cheaper than Powerservice.

It may seem that way, but at $2.00 per quart, per fill-up, is it really? I get 80 eight ounce doses of Stanadyne Perfomance Formula from a 5 gallon can which comes to around $1.75 per dose, and I get anti-gel in it too.

This seems to be increasing the mileage which powerservice has not in 200,000 miles of hand calculating without adding mmo to it and the 2 stroke oil has quietened the engine down a bunch which powerservice doesn't. I've also tried the Stanadyne and didn't get any mileage improvements from that either. 8.00 is the wal-mart price not mine. The difference in engine tone is what made me try it and they were correct. Even the wife could tell it while riding in the truck not just outside if it.

I'm going to try it, and I'll report back what my results were. My weekly mileage, average speed, yada, yada are so repeatable it's sickening. It will be easy to tell if I experience any improvements over using Stanadyne. Stand by....

Well I've be running 2 stroke for a bit of time now.. I've got some interresting thing to report guys...
Here is my old fuel filter and the fuel drain from the filter housing...
Take notice the filter media is not stained blue from the 2 stroke oil. Also take notice the mint green color of the fuel. I'm using the Supertech from walmat and trust me its a DARK BLUE! So at 1 quart for 20-25 gallons for fuel is a good mixture. Not too heavy and not to light.
Here is my MPG Graph... I started about 81K with 2 cycle oil... I was also hauling firewood out of the back country so the numbers are hauling heavy and empty...
