When I looked at these qt cansxof fuel at Sears, it is around $6/qt...$24/gal. Last edited by Char Baby; 02/09/18 03:43 PM.

I am wondering if it�s closer to 40:1 or 50:1.

Exactly. Or it may be 45:1. I have ran OPe on 64:1 so 45 0r 50:1 should not be a problem if it's got a good oil. 02 Wrangler carlube 5w30 87 F250 traveler 15w40 07 fjcruiser Chevron 10w30 Z400 castrol T 10w40 Can am maveric edge 5w40 57 case tractor 15w40
