What octane gas do you use, what oil mix, and what ratio do you mix it at. I've always used 92 octane with stihl ultra mixed at 50:1

You're fine with that plan. Use the Search function and you'll find a ton of information about octanes and mixes and oils and anything else you can think of.

So what y'all think? :msp_w00t: Should I start my ranting about gasoline again?
So here's the deal, if I get 5 "NO!" by the end of the day I'll hold my tong... otherwise... :glasses-cool:

NO NO NO NO NO ! And one extra NO just for good measure. Now hold your tong.
Seriously, somebody needs to take a deep breath, say their morning patience mantra, and answer the kid's question.

I use Shell 93 octane and mix with Amsoil Saber @ 40:1. Just use fresh gas and good quality oil and you're safe.
Sorry Gologit, only one vote per customer.
Yeah, you're right, someone should answer him...
I use non-ethanol blended 91-92 octane mixed 50:1 with the Stihl dino oil (orange bottle).
I've never added anything else to it... no stabilizers (it's in the Stihl oil), no octane boosters, no fuel treatments, nothing.
What you're doing should be just fine... keep your fuel getting too old and stay away from ethanol blends if'n possible.
There are guys on this board running the cheapest fuel and the cheapest oil they can find, and most of them haven't blown up... at least not yet.

Who cares about your supercalafagalistic fuel "ranting"?
The OP didn't ask to be preached at about fuel... it was a simple question.

The main thing you need to do is make sure you're getting..."fresh"...gas.
I use BP 93 octane that I get at the interstate highway..and they get two 93 octane deliveries a week.
I recently switched to Amsoil Saber and mix at 50:1 - full synthetic and half the price of Stihl Ultra.

This may be a bit presumptuous of me... but I'll take that as a "NO!" then?
...and, oh yeah Gologit, I'm not really sure how that "tong" thing happened, and I missed your bold lettering of it the first time I read it... somehow I dropped the last two letters... tongue.
I run 89 octane with 40-45:1 oil ratio using Stihl oil. I'll throw in some PRI-G for good measure.
So far it's worked ok for me.

That's what I tell customers. And if they use less than a gallon a month they're better off using canned fuel.
non-ethanol 91 octane with Bel-Ray H1R @32:1

Could you just please reply to the OP..what gas and oil/mix you personally use..??

No reason to get this thread "locked" over someone going off on some rant about anything..especially gas & oil mix..!!
Just help the young dude out..with what you personally use and perhaps why..!!
