Question for you chain saw and weed eater guys.

So much Innosence

LD1 explained it all plainly in post 14 IIRC.

Octane is a measure of detonation supression. The most energy is contained in fuel with the LOWEST octane. Cetane is the compression ignition analog.

All this banter about AvGas being risky or bad is just foolish. In fact, you used to be able to MIX high test and regular to achieve "the best" performance fuel due to the wonders of chemistry.

Not likely that running five gallons of fuel is gonna result in excessive lead fouling when using LL.
And if $32 per gallon is an idea of "worth it", All I can say is I hope the good time continue.

****! Sometimes I get sick of this crap!

STIHL premixed fuel is convenient but at $32 per quart, no thanks. Even the cheapest brands are $5 a quart, still, no thanks.

A guy can pay for a new saw every few years by NOT using that stuff. I'm nearing the bottom of the 15th GALLON of gas for this year, all if which goes through just the saws. I use regular 87 octane 10" ethanol and have had no problems.

$32 per gallon... I want to sell premix gas to you my friend!

You'll have to find another sucker. As I said earlier, no thanks, to rich for my blood. :thumbsup:
