I have purchased a plane that has for its power plant a Gas engine. Can anyone provide information on fuel mix options? I am living in PerĂº close to the seacoast. I do not have access to specialty oils to mix with gasoline fuel. Perhaps I can get a hold of outboard marine engine oil to mix with the fuel to obtain the right mixes?!?; however I do not know if this is ok. Any thoughts, pointers or advise is welcomed.

Marine oil is not good -- it's meant for water cooled engines running at lower temperatures. Find out what people there use in chain saws or weed eaters and use that.
