Thumbs up

It all depends what you are talking about. I have been riding go-ped scooter for the past 8 years and I have figured out that using 95 octane unleaded gasoline with a 45:1 Gas:Oil ratio(recommend ashless semi-synthetic 2-stroke motor oil) on my Zenoah engine has kept it alive for *8* years with only changing spark plug(once every 2 years recommended) and some other parts such as screws pull start and other upgrades like high performance products (carburetor, air filter,etc. but not manditory for more speed.) If you are not using a goped or other motorized stand up scooter, i cant help you unless it is a wave runner. NEVER USE LEAD REPLACEMENT BECAUSE IT COULD MESS UP YOUR MOTOR. If you are not using a goped or own one, you should get one because they are cheap $400-1000 (20-35 MPH/32-56 KM/h) by visiting www.toybrokersracing.com www.getaped.com www.gomeyer.com www.gopednation.com

Being a car enthusiast I understand all the differences between the 2 fuels

fuel cars, and unleaded for the newer ones, or even the optimax, and other
equivalents as long as it's from a well known servo with a high turnover.
Anyway, when it comes to 2 strokes I was wondering if ULP or LRP is best?
LRP does have a lubricant in it, so when adding the oil for 2 stroke, it
could only help.
In general LRP has a higher octane rating (or it did have).
Apart from being cheaper, I can't see any benefits of ULP. There is no cat
converters in 2 stroke exhausts for LRP to harm.
Just wondering if anyone has opinions, or has heard anything?

Thanks in advance.
