The problem with Marvel Mystery Oil is that it doesn't have the additive package (TCW3) and it is very expensive when compared with 2-cycle marine oil ($14.00 / gallon at Wal-Mart).

Marvel Mystery Oil may be another option. I use it in all my old Kohler powered Cubs. 2 oz per 4gal.

Jack:
I've been using marine 2-cycle oil in my cars now for four years. These include: a 2000 Lincoln, a 2002 Camaro B4C Police LS1, a '98 Dodge Dakota V-8 and a '95 Caprice Police with LT1 and last but not least, a '65 Harley panhead Electraglide. I have experienced only beneficial effects: better mileage, smoother running engines, quieter electric fuel pumps in the FI cars and easier starting in all of them.
You should try marine oil with TCW3 for a few tank fulls (1 oz. to five gallons) and see for yourself. You can get it in cheap by the quart or gallon container at Wal-Mart. Grab a guart and try it. You have nothing to lose.

As a follow-up I went to my 'breakdown bucket' that I keep in whichever car I am driving at the time. I keep a list of ethanol free gas stations in it.
It turns out the most reliable site is
http://www.pure-gas.org/
I have been 100% successful using the Kansas and Missouri locations it lists.
As far as additives, I am steering away from any 2-stroke oil or other additives other than Stabil and lead substitute for prolonged highway speeds. I have heard too many stories about oil based additives causing fouled plugs, stuck rings and smoking??
My 2 cents worth (continued)

I am fairly new to the group so this may have been said before.
I am one of those that will not burn gas with alcohol in any of my old Mopars. I rely on web sites like buyrealgas.com
They list stations in all states on their site. I seldom have to go more than 5 or 6 miles out of my way. It seems to be premium most of the time but my C300 loves it.

Can't believe it. A large fueling station just 3 miles down the main drag from me has just install a separate tank and pump, and they are offering 90 octane ETHANOL-FREE gasoline. And it's priced at a very reasonable $4.39 a gallon.
This afternoon I pumped out every drop of ethanol laden gas from my three collector cars and reloaded them with this new ethanol-free stuff. I used to have to go to a special station that handled racing fuel, or drop in at the little one-horse airport nearby and get the LL100 avgas. And, of course, you have to dispense it into 5-gallon jerry cans first and then transfer to your car.
This is WAY better. So Cool.
