I can see buying a can of premix if you are do not have a gas-can and need some gas to run something. Otherwise? Come on!
Same goes for buying "premixed antifreeze" at the same price as full strength. Just in case you are somewhere where you have no access to water to dilute it - it might make sense. Otherwise - just laziness as I see it.
There is nothing in a can of "premix" that is superior to what you buy at the pump, and oil at the store of your choice. There IS something INFERIOR. Only one choice of mix ratio. I run 20 to 1 in everything I own. No matter if it is a 2-stoke-cycle built in 1948 or in 2018. More oil is always better as far as wear goes. Low oil mixes are for emissions purposes - not engine longevity.
One exception. Using more oil makes the engine run leaner. No problem as long as you have an adjustable main-jet. If not - you'll need to stick with the OEM mix-ratio.
