Aussie wrote:2T, just can't justify or understand why apart from the obvious thought of upper cyl lube, if adding 2T was fantastic there would be many oil and fuel companies out there marketing a "fuel additive" under a different name and asking big bucks for it, most 2T formulations contain a solvent, the solvent usually is high flash and very low octane when compared to diesel so no benefit fuel wise, the oil content may carbon things up a tad though.
