At $50 a gallon, it better do something different. <G>
Ok, I went to the garage and looked at the little bottles of MC-1 I've been using. The bottle costs $6.21, holds 12.8 oz. of oil and will treat 5 gallons of gas at 50:1. If you're talking about the cost to treat 50 gallons of gas, then I am payng $62.10. If that's not what you are talking about, then what are you saying? But, frankly, I don't think too much in terms of what 50 gallons of gas "treated" costs me, or 100 gallons, or the like because that's more gas than I burn in a few years (probably).

A typical day at the field, I will burn less than a gallon of gas, more like a half gallon. Help me with the math...if I go to the field and it's not blowing or too hot and I do this 3 days a week and I burn less than a gallon each trip and taking out winter months, I will likely burn how much gas in a year (treated)?

Adjusted for inflation....well, you get my drift. Who's worrying about the cost of 50 or 100 gallons of oil which would treat a thousand gallons of gas? In reality, about every two or three months I go by the motorcycle shop and buy 3 or 4 bottles of oil for about $20. Then, I don't think about it for another two or three months.

Wow.
