I was told that one of the reason for higher % lubucation W/methanol was due to the fact that lubes used W/gasoline were better lubricaters.
In this case aren't we talking about the same lube?
WAIT! I missed something.
I could have sworn that the reason gassers use ~ 5% or less oil was due to the use of needle bearings in the big end of the con rod.
Who suggested the lubricants used in gas mixes were better? I don't believe it! The ONLY benefit *I* see is that you CAN get synthetic lubes that will burn with the gas charge and I don't castor does.
