Question Two Stroke Oil in your fuel?

I was reading a thread on another site about guys running Two stroke oil in their fuel tanks. They claim to get a big drop in noise levels and a big jump in mileage with no down side.

Does anyone know if this will hurt injectors or anything else? Sounds like a cheap way to add lube to your fuel.

Do any of you guys run it?

It's a good oil to run as it is designed to be burned.

I've been running it since the 1st of the year with no problems! All the 2-stroke is doing adding the lubriticity back into the fuel that they have removed. No injector/Ip/FASS issues.

Go to Wally World and pick up some 16oz bottles of their store brand Power Tech for about $1.50/bttl. Perfect amount for every fill-up, and cheap.

Why do this in addition to Power Servce?
Is that not somewhat redundant?

Power Service is for cleaning the injectors and also a cetane booster.
