Some have used inexpensive over-refined GMO veg oils as found in groceries as a top lube....I've tried it at 2-3 oz per 10G. Some farmers grow sunflowers and expel the oil for use in their tractors....combined with diesel.

Even in diesel fuel 2-stroke oil has limited lubricity, not as good as some fuel additives specifically designed for diesel fuel. In my diesel I always use more than 2% biodiesel, which has lubricity second to none.

Maybe those of you testing 2-stroke oil in gasoline could test biodiesel as well. If lubricity is truly a benefit, you might get a better result as you can use less and have less impact on your octane level.
