It depends.
Amsoil makes a 2 stroke oil you can run at 100:1. I used it some at 60:1 in an
old Ski-Doo that called for 20:1 and it was fine.
Then I switched to a regular oil at 50:1 and burned that snomwbile down...
If I were going to use less oil than the manufacturer called for I'd make sure
it was a really good synthetic oil...
Yeah it should be considerably better for the lake.

Doesn't a lot of this depend on the quality of the oil too? We are
being told that we can run a 50:1 mixture in old
outboard motors that originally called for as much as 16:1 mixtures. I
am assuming that is mostly because the oil
has improved since the 1960's. It makes me a bit nervous to reduce the
oil that much but I am told there should not
be a problem. If one puts in too much oil, then the motor tends to
smoke a lot and things get gummed up. Not only
that but from a green point of view, less oil is probably good for the
lake as well.
