Just make sure the fuel you use is always fresh (no older than 3 months) at the correct octane rating (usually 87) and utilize 2-stroke oil with correct classification for an air-cooled 2-stroke motor as recommended by the manufacture in the owners manual. Spend the money you’ll save on some other accessories or new fishing lures.

I respectfully disagree. Opti-2 synthetic is only an extra couple bucks more. And if you use premium gas (like the owners manuals of most augers states) with the synthetic oil, you burn less gas and oil and spend less on repairs. Built in fuel stabilizer that aslo costs money to boot. Your auger will run better, start easier, go through less plugs, air filters, carbs, etc when doing this. And you if go through 10-12 tanks of fuel per ice season like some of us, it's well worth the investiment.
