RE: Gas Engine Oil Mix
You can use alcohol in an engine designed for gasoline but not without some modifications. The biggest mod is the carburetor as you will require larger offices because the fuel flow will be quite a bit higher than when using gasoline. As to oil/alcohol ratio, best check with the engine manufacturer to be sure of using an adequate amount of oil. You will get more horsepower using alcohol but at a great expense to fuel consumption increase and probably greater engine wear.
