yeah i run it in my car i was just wondering if it is a waste since the 2 cycle oil doesn't really have time to break down before it gets burnt up.

First, if you're saying "extra $$$$", it makes it look like restaurant menu pricing, with a $ meaning inexpensive and $$$ meaning high priced and $$$$ meaning very expensive. So, is that what you're asking "If semi-synthetic 2 cycle oil is very expensive, is it worth the extra cost", or are you simply asking if semi-synthetic 2 cycle oil is worth extra cost over other oils? Those are two entirely different questions.
Second, you're not saying why you are considering semi-synthetic 2 cycle oil or if it's suggested or recommended for the equipment you're considering using it in.
Simply asking "does anyone know if...is worth the extra $$$$" doesn't give anyone any information to start to answer your question.
And, it doesn't help you when members say "I use this...", "I use this in my whatever..." because you may be using it for something entirely different. What they use, without saying why, doesn't help you. It's as if you asked a question about a Corvette engine and someone telling you that they drive a Honda. It's irrelevant to what you want to know.
Give us more information, and maybe we can answer your question.
That said, if I understand correctly, semi-synthetic 2-Cycle Oil is simply an advanced technology “smokeless” 2-stroke oil formulated from a special blend of mineral oil, synthetic oil and a low ash additive package containing fortified dispersant inhibitors. The end result intent is that there is a more thorough burning of the fuel resulting in more power and fewer emissions for a safe operator environment. Users should (can?) expect less fuel consumption and no more filter clogging, easier piston travel, and consequently allows for more net power and less ring and cylinder wear. Synthetic oil helps prevent piston burning, spark plug fouling, ring sticking and corrosion caused by combustion residues; and reduces carbon build-up and provides rust protection during storage.
But, again, you're not telling us why you're considering it or what equipment you're considering using it in, in order that anyone can answer your question.

Why do you need 2 cycle oil, unless you are putting it into a combination gas/oil burning engine? Don't put this into any vehicle.

I use "regular" Mercury 2 cycle oil in my 1988 Merc 150XR4 outboard motor and have since it was new. I have had no issues what so ever.
