We have been running our Tohatsu 2 stroke LTDI fuel injected 40 hp on our 12 
ft Boss Boat for three years.  During this time of cruising we have used 
four quarts of oil and 187 gallons of gasoline.  There is no smoke.

When in the Bahamas and Keys we often travel many miles with other dinghys 
to distant areas.  On a twenty mile trip, the three accompaning RIBs with 
four strokes needed to buy gas for the return trip.  It appeared to me that 
my milage was superior.

The progress made in modern 2 strokes is unbelievable.  No smoke, immediate 
starting, no carborators, good economy.
