i just picked up a moped of the same make and model. apparently the reason for that warning is to prevent people from filling up the tank with white gas. white gas is gasoline without any octane boosting ingredients, usually used for camping fuel, so it will make an engine knock and ping by premature detonation.
tetra-ethyl lead was an octane booster and nothing more. the idea of making an engine last longer by helping lubrication is a myth likely cooked up by the ethyl corperation back in the 20's when they were first trying to push this additive. the puch engines run at a compression ratio of 7.1:1, lead additives or octane boosters are a waste of money. futher, given that its a two stroke engine, you will always have some raw gas coming out the tailpipe; if you add lead additive that too will come out the exhaust pipe.

Probably 32:1.....that's 32oz of gasoline to 1 oz of oil. Or 32 ml of petrol to 1ml of oil. Good luck.
