That sure doesn't sound right to me...more oil = lower octane.
Usual 2 stroke premix is in the 40 to 50:1 range.

I agree with 500. 2 strokes run best on straight gas, they just don't run very long. The trick is to find out the right mixture for adequate lubrication, no more. Well maybe a little more for insurance. The new synthetics claim you can go 100:1, but I would cheat that down a little. Somewhere between 50:1 and 100:1

500 ml = 1.056688 pints or 0.5283441 quarts
20 litres = 42.26753 pints or 21.13376 quarts

oops ... a little bit too quick on that one!
this is roughly a 40:1 ratio
Hope this helps.
