Remember, 2 stroke machines will still be available, just not those that don't meet the new emission standards. If you couldn't get it anymore, everyone would have to stop selling all 2 strokes, so no more whipper snippers, chainsaws, marine engines, some motorbikes... Don't worry, there will be 2 stroke oil available for a long time :-)
G'day yes I think the oil will be around for a while yet, but as I mentioned in another thread I think it will all be synthetic based cleaner burning 2 stroke oils in the future. I think the older style high smoke emitting mineral based 2 stroke oils will be obsolete soon.

I have noticed myself many years ago I could find mineral based 2 stroke oils at most retailers. These days I have to search for it and only a couple of retailers still stock it. I have noticed the trend to slowly phasing out the older mineral based 2 stroke oils. But if you want synthetic 2 stroke oil, you can pretty much buy it at any retailer now.

Cheers!
