Castor/Petroleum vs. Synthetic Oil

[RichM1983]

I know money isnt much of a mater to protect your motor but that stupid Castor 927 was $8 and when I mixed it 24:1 it almost used the whole stinking thing.

What would be a good oil and a good ratio and a price to expect to pay because I dont want to pay $3 for a gallon of gas and then almost $8 to mix A GALLON with only a little oil left to mix. My preference doesnt matter because I have no past experience.

i mix klotz supertechniplate at 32:1 in my stock shee... i pay $10 for 32 oz bottle of it here.... so its like $3.30 a gallon for gas + 4oz oil($1.25) so im payin around $4.50 a gallon hahah shit. i never really did the math, thats kinda sick when u think about it... thats the ONLY thing i envy my friends with 4 strokes for... just gas and go... but too bad they are no fun
