8(?) qts x 2 motors = 4 gallons of 10W40=$20x4=
$80 per year + (2 Suzuki oil filters x $19=$38)=
$118.

$20/gl 2 stroke oil x 2200 gl gas per year/50 (50:1 ratio)= 44 gl of oil x $20=
$880...for 2 stroke oil per season...that can't be right???

Ring Free need for 2 stroke - forgot about that...
WOW $50/qt for every 320 Gallons of gas...2200 gl(expected gas per year)/320 about 7 quarts x $50= $350/year

$118 vs $1230
