2-stroke oil is quite expensive, does the increased MPG outweigh the cost of the oil?

My understanding of red diesel use on the public highway only allows farmers to travel between their own fields, and only using the vehicle for their own purposes, so the farmer traveling to cut the grass on someone else's land would be considered to be contracted out and not able to use red diesel on the public road to get to the job.

Hi Bill,

Thanks for clearing up the Farmer issue.

As regards 2 stroke oil, it is the cheapest semi synthetic which is used. Fully synthetic would be a waste of money. There are claims of quieter and smoother running engines with increased mpg. I keep track of my mileage and fuel usage. I did a quick check of my average mpg for 2011 and it comes out at 22.8 mpg. I have a 5 tonne MAM tag axle van and I aqm fairly pleased with the figures as I said earlier, I have had headwinds a lot and 2011 was generally a very windy year (you tend to notice these things when you use a wind generator Laughing

).

There are probably a number of oils that would be suitable. Some people change their engine oil and put it in the fuel tank. It seems to do no harm to older diesel engines.

When I were a lad, I regularly used Compressor oil in my old bangers (Austin A40, as an example). It was a 30W grade lubricating oil. If I was still working, that is probably be what I would use. It would be free. Embarassed
