A quart will do 12 full tanks of a 75cc gas tank, and you have to use the first 5 full tanks breaking in the motor. How much will be needed you ask ? it all depends on how much you plan on useing it.

Go for a gallon if you plan on driving quite a bit!

i have a lightning and i love it, definately get a gallon of fuel, just because of a break in.

drop clermontmotorsports.com an email and get a price from him for the lightning. He's a great guy to deal with and he is also forum support here, i am sure he will give you a good price.

you run a few tanks of fuel thru the engine at a rich setting (alot of fuel) to make the piston and sleeve in the engine rub againt each other to make a good fit.
