The marina on our chain stopped selling 50:1 mix this year. The owner said that it was less than 20% of his sales. The old dirty 2 strokes are fast becoming a dying breed, replaced by E-Tecs and Optimas. We now have two pumps of premium marine fuel to keep the inboards and their owners happy!

John,
You don't remember the 24 to one mix?

My 24:1 motors are wall hangings now along with my fathers old 1957 Evinrude Fleetwin, which is a 16:1 mixture. We spent a lot of summers together with that one. You could always find your way home by following the sheen in the water.
