New top end, new rings, etc. I wouldn't say 20 mpg is unreasonable for the first couple of tanks...

What fuel mileage did you get after the initial 250 break-in period? Did it cool off after that as well? I'm wondering if I need to adjust mixture at mid throttle to keep the plug from getting so white in the meantime. But I'd rather not if it's going to work it self out and start running cooler. I like the 2 cycle oil idea. I'll have to try that next tank. Maybe a 60 or 70 to 1 ratio? Thanks.
