As long as newer 2 strokes can meet epa requirements, it will continue to be a battle betweeen the 2. I realize we are talking fishing applications here, but what is going to happen to all the performance based O/B applications?

Sorry I refer to fuel in three octanes, 87,89,and 93. I guess I meant to say premium fuel which by definition would mean 91 and up.

Both the 300 Verado and XS require 91 octane.
THE 2 ARE STROKES ARE MORE FUEL EFFICIENT, AND HAVE LOWER EMISSIONS at 2/3's the weight.
Add that the verado is a throw away motor, at least the 2 strokes can effectively and quickly be rebuilt.
This technology ( verado ) defeats the purpose of outboards, when the new generation 2 strokes are better in EVERY way.

Dont they call for Merc premium plus? I have run Klotz, Amsoil, and Merc Premium plus. The mercury stuff is cheaper and I dont notice a difference at all. I run 300 promax's but I believe the 300xs call for the same oil.
