Try TCW-3 rated 2-cycle oil. It's cheap, use 1 oz. per gallon, and it should increase mileage. I have been using it for 2 years and had good results.

Yeah, I used to use the same thing, but found out that it is not really good stuff. Just go to Wal-Mart and buy the Super Tech brand found in the oil isle. It's only 'bout 8 bucks a gallon. Pretty cheap for an additive and lubricity tests show it to be about 100 points better for lubrication than Power Service. Let me know how it goes.....

I am also using RBP, but I've just baught my last bottle because I've been using it for about 2 years and haven't noticed a thing that they claim. I'm going with Amsoil on my next purchase.
