So another thread piqued my curiosity and I pulled up the technical data sheets for Motul 710 2T and Motul Scooter Power 2T. Contrary to my suspicions, it appears they are not the same thing, at least not exactly. If I'm interpreting correctly, the 710 has a little more viscosity, a significantly lower flash point, and a slightly less generous additive package than the Scooter Power. From what I've seen, the 710 generally is a little cheaper than the Scooter Power. Of course, viscosity is a balancing act between flow and resistance to shear--more isn't necessarily better. I also wonder if flash point makes much difference when 98% of the fuel is gasoline, which has a flash point well below zero. I also wonder about the importance of additives when it is all getting burned anyway.
Any thoughts on whether the scooter specific stuff is worth a little extra dough?
