    I may try a gallon of the 110 in a couple saws. I don't have any super high compression ones here right now to run it in.

    Opinions are all over the place. Personally? Using modern synthetic 2-stroke oils at 32:1 or leaner, the effect to too small to be considered.

    I agree. I personally like the 100% ester oils for the clean burn

    Some saws have 10 gallons or so of mix through them just milling. I will keep running the maxima k2 mostly. I do like the smell of klotz.
