And it is definitely easier starting. It is basically billed as a top end lubricant and fuel system/top end cleaner.

I've been using it in my fourwheeler, and it is SO much easier to start now compared to what it was. Now it will start after about 3 or 4 turn overs, compared 7 or 9 before. It was getting to be a bear to start in cold weather.

I need to break down the data in fuel logs and see if I see any trends in there for sure. Just glancing at them again, it appears there may be a decent increase in mileage trend. I wasn't using it for mpg, but for top end cleaning/lubrication.
I am surprised this method of adding Marine Spec TC-3 2 cycle oil. Mixed at 1 oz/5 gallon hasn't been thoroughly disscused here? am I missing a thread. This additive seems too good to be true for states that only have gas diluted with ethanol.
