50:1 sounds more reasonable. Did you misunderstand him? 150:1 would be a pointless ratio. It would be no different then running straight gas. I bet my car burns more oil than that. Ask again, I would almost put money down that your friend's dad said, or meant, 50:1. That is a lean mixture in my book. I usually run 40:1 in my 89 CR 500, and that is as lean as I am willing to go.

150:1 eh?

So lets say the gas tank holds 8 L...

150:1 L
75: 500ml
37.5 : 250ml
18.75 : 125ml
9.37 : 62.5ml
4.68 : 31.25ml

With a 8 liter tank, that means only about 60ml of it is oil...Your right raptor rookie, i think my car burns more then that [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

you guys are right but he said 150 because he said one hundred and fifty not one fifty so he must not know what he is talking about

That thing would really go like hell, for about 15 minutes. The next time it would be going as fast as it did then is in the back of a dumptruck [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
