A while back Tracy mentioned that he new uses 50/50 2-stroke oil and
MMO(Marvel Mystery Oil).  Originally I believe that he used to use straight
MMO.  I can't recall ever hearing the specific reasoning behind using MMO,
and why the switch to 50/50.  I assume Tracy's thinking is based on
conjecture and that is why he has not really expressed strong opinions to
the group.

I considered it a non-issue as I saw no particular advantage to MMO, but now
I am starting to reconsider.  My standard grade 2-stroke oil is dark and
stinks like ammonia.  MMO is clear and has a pleasant smell.  Cost around
here is $10/gal for generic 2-stroke oil and $18/gal for MMO.  You can pay
much more for some of the "racing" 2-stroke oils (like $10/qt) so I have
never tried them.  The MMO *seems* like a better quality product but I have
no idea if it is doing what it needs to be doing when used as a fuel
additive in our situation.

So Tracy, assuming that your reasons for using MMO are not based on any
solid scientific finding, I would still like to hear why you decided to use
it.  Other input welcome as well.  Thanks.
