I recently picked up a small bottle of two stroke oil at Lowes.  What
made it unique is that it claims that it can be used for 50:1, 40:1,
32:1, 16:1 mix ratios.  Not by mixing in the various amounts, but by
mixing the bottle with a gallon of gas.

Basically, I can use the same fuel in my 16:1 chain saw and my 32:1 weed
eater.  It would be convenient to have one gas can pre-mixed and usable
in all my two stroke power tools, but...

Is it too good to be true, or is it some new synthetic oil that
lubricates enough to provide the lube of a 16:1 and the non-fouling
properties of a 50:1?  Or should I just continue to use my collection of
different gallon gas cans each with a different pre-mix???

Anyone have any experience with this stuff, or any information?
