the ranges of 32-1 down to 50-1 are pretty common around here. Very few still run 20-1; I run 40-1. You can safely run what your quad buds run in terms of brands and mixes.

I run my 85R with a 32 to 1 mix. I was told by many people that the old 20 to 1 back in 85 worked then but today's oil is much better. :headbang:
