I am running a test to determine if the addition of 30 ml per gallon of gasoline will affect the efficiency of 4 cycle engines.

It occurred to me that if 2 cycle engines can run on 75 ml per gallon of gasoline the viscosity of that resulting mixture is around .7 cSts and 20 wt oil is 7 cSts.
Seems pretty obvious that future oils will be in the range of 0W-0 weight. I have read that the future holds at least 0W-4 (TLT magazine).
Fearing 5W-20 oils makes less and less sense (to me). Of course designs will need to change but not by a whole lot.
