yes your little 1/4 liter engine is destroying the whole world's environment. it isn't the guy with the 76 Malibu that is running down the road, burning 1 quart of oil per 20 miles. and getting 1mpg because he hasn't done a tune up in 30 years. and now the environmentalist are claiming that cows are ruining the environment. there crazy.. 2 stroke's are really not hurting the environment. when you consider how many hours you use it and how many people actually have them. the percentage it very very slim. compared to all other motorized vehicles.

The earth has a surface area of 500 million kilometres, and the atmosphere is 16 kilometres thick (wikipedia). This means the atmosphere has a displacement of 8 billion cubic kilometres. How does your 150 cubic centimetre engine impact the earth's air mass?
Just for fun, calculate the volume of the earth's atmosphere in cubic centimetres. And then send an email to Al Gore for his opinion.

Yes, they burn the oil used to lubricate the crank and cylinder. Most 2 strokes you just mix this oil with the fuel and others have an oil injection system. Either way that oil is burnt in the combustion process. Also the exhaust is expelled from the engine by being forced out by the incoming air/fuel mixture so there is no way to keep some of the air/fuel mixture from mixing and escaping with the exhaust.

2 stroke engines have been made to run "cleaner" than 4 strokes.
DI 2 stroke engines have been tested and meet any of the EPA's standards.

Apart from being less efficient (interms of mpg or kmpl), the emissions are really bad. Due to the design of the take and outlet ports of two stroke engines - at higher rpms a lot of unburnt hydrocarbons are let out of the cylinder. I.e fuel comes into the combustion chanber but is scavenged before it burns completely. It is possible to use a catalytic converter to trap these emissions, but over a perios of time the converter needs to be replaced.

OH! YES, they are far worse than industrial pollution, giant ships air planes, trucks and buses.
I'm sure if 2 strokes were banned it would save the planet.

They needn't be, there is scope for improvement. Honda developed this a while back and then reduced development in two-strokes which is a shame.
