If you don't want it, buy it, and I will give you $75 for it.

Darn. Didn't read all the replies and only offered $60.

Hey guys thanks again. Troll......Do you recommend Premium in the Stihl also?
I'm so amazied with the amount of knowledge on this site. I am a couple of sites and all they do is argue over which best. This sight actually answers questions. I'm in awe:jawdrop:

I actually only use Aspen Alkylate fuel - otherwise it would have been all premium.

Use any gas with an octane rating above 90, and a good quality 2 stroke oil. Synthetic is not necessary if you buy good oil. I would stick to saw manufacturer's oil (Husky, Stihl, Shindaiwa, JRed) and not buy the cheap stuff at Wal-Mart.

Oh, and never put bar oil in the gas.

As far as I know, you can't get Akylate fuel in the US yet. It might be on the way, maybe someone knows more than me. AV gas is aviation gas I think. You don't need either one of these fuels for your saw to run good. A good high octane, low ethanol content gas is good. Avoiding ethanol might be hard, but up to 10% should be okay.

I got a Husqvarna 51 once that looked like brand new, but was low on compression. I took the gas cap off and drained what was left of the straight gas out, which I expected. Then I drained the bar oil tank and guess what came out, high quality 2-stoke oil !!! I guess they thought "Air Injection" was the same as oil injection.
