Default RE: Engine compression

I think the increase of the oil to the fuel mix reduces the volatility of the fuel hence the need to adjust the needle to balance the air:fuel mix. The point here is that if you increase the oil content you may well increase dynamic compression ratio but at the same time you have reduced the volatility index of the fuel (i.e less burnable content) and reduced or even negated the benefit that the increase in CR would have brought.
