Run Pre-mix or run RA OMP?

I'm using the RA adapter and running premix through the stock OMP only at this point. I used to add a little premix to the tank for extra insurance (about 1/4~1/2 oz per gallon of gas), but I'm finding that for street driving that may be a little too rich and unnecessary given the premix smoke and aroma in the exhaust.

I've been closely monitoring premix consumption against both fuel consumed and miles driven, taking into account the type of miles driven (i.e., highway cruises vs. serious floggings), and my average oil consumption rate is running at about 200:1 overall, fuel to premix. This is with the stock S5T2 OMP (electronic) fed premix via the RA adapter. Looking at just the hard miles, and my data says it burns at about 80:1; an easy cruise on the highway and it's only about 325:1
