I completely agree that from a strictly monetary cost perspective I would buy the oil and spark plugs and run the mix on the heavy side. That’s what I have always done in the past. To me that isn’t goal in the attempt to reduce the amount of oil.
At the risk of sounding like a tree hugger (which anyone who knows me will tell you I’m not) the main goal is to reduce the emissions / pollution generated in an attempt to prolong the ability to run these motors in as many places and for as long as possible. I do not want to have my motors regulated out of service. If the pollution can be reduced without sacrificing the engine life, then why not. For me (and I believe I speak for most interested in reducing the amount of oil, forgive me if I’m wrong) it isn’t about saving a couple bucks because I am getting away with something. I want to be able to keep running these motors on the lakes and not have my hobby regulated out of existence.
