I did a 2 stroke oil in gas test on my Honda Rebel 250 a few years ago, and the ideal ratio is between 1:100 and 1:300, with 1:128 being the easiest one due to one gallon of fuel needing one oz of oil, and around 1:150-1:200 being the ideal ratio to have some of that upper piston lubrication, while at the same time not polluting the exhaust.
Once you hit 1:300 ratios, the effect is pretty much non-existent. What mixing 2 stroke oil does to your bike engine, is run it cooler and smoother. It drove my mechanic crazy, because he could see traces of oil on the piston head. I just told him I had bought a fuel stabilizer, and that probably was the reason. At a 1:100 ratio or below, you kind of start clogging and fouling the exhaust. 2 stroke oil completely mixes with fuel, so I doubt it does anything to corrosion. As soon as you fuel up a new tank, the new fuel will dilute and wash away any remnants of oil in the tank. |

I guess I should have stated to add it to every tankful to be more clear. As far as the ratio, My thinking is that some is better than none.
