Lookout 45:1 like why even bother? Might aswell just mix it at 50:1 and continue being scared of oil lol

You gotta find that balance between fear and SPOOGE.

I’ve always figured that Amsoil Saber 100:1 was just a marketing name and not an actual mix ratio that should ever be used

Stihl and Echo at 50:1 for30 years. Good tune, scary sharp chain. Warm up the saw.

I like my saws too much to risk trying 100:1

Well, you probably don't want to know the colloquial meaning

Don't bet on that.

I always run ethanol free fuel in everything 2 cycle. I was just trying to decide between 40:1 and 50:1 for the oil ratio.

I've been using 45:1 for several years. Works best for me.

Some posters have claimed to use 100:1 for years. I use 50:1. I might be wasting a bit of money, but it is not enough for me to worry about the cost.

Anywhere from 30-40:1 depending on the saw. I mix at 40:1 plus and add a wee bit for particular saws. I'm not too fussy. Every saw burns differently. I just keep an eye on it. The goal is to have a small, but significant amount of residual oil in the crankcase. Safety factor.

Get as much oil as possible through a 2 stroke while maintaining a clean burn. No spooge (very little, anyway) and almost NO carbon buildup. That's the goal for me for about 50 years. Clean burn has everything to do with the particular oil.

Trying to mix perfect ratios is ridiculous. A few points either way means nothing. It is insignificant.
