I have vaporized a few pistons in my lifetime. 2 strokes and exoctic fuel mixes will do amazing things when things go wrong.

Well they run better and better as you lean them out, right up to the point where the piston crown becomes part of the combustion process.
With our modern computer controls technology we could achieve some incredible mpgs if we didn’t have to run at 14.7:1 to make the damn converter work.
True. But even though you were able to get high enough temps to burn a hole in the top of the piston, the engine didn’t catch fire. All the 2-stroke engines I had were aluminum alloy.
