Also is it true with the new gas with ethanol they have out that if you mix 2 cycle oil with gas it will improve the performance and mileage because the ethanol gas lacks lubricant?

If you had the Check engine light, the computer stored a code that would help us track down the problem. Read around the forum for the explanation on how to read the computer and let us know the code that is stored.
Ethanol is added to the fuel supposedly to save money on making it. If it is low on lubricants, the other 90% of the gasoline will have enough for the engine. Do you have the link to the information on adding 2 cycle oil?
