I had two stroke motorcycles for years. A tank of oil in mine lasted 600 miles. Hypothetically since it fires on every stroke a two stroke can put out the power of a four stroke twice the size. They also weigh less. On the down side since the oil is contaminated by gas piston rings may not last as long as four stroke's.

BUT. That usually means they'll only last 20,000 miles in normal use and darn few people keep them that long.
