So what does a gallon of that Aspen cost?
What is it made out of ?
here in Sweden, one gallon of normal 95 octane gas costs around: 5,3 USD
One gallon of Aspen costs around 8,5 USD.
I consume roughly 100 gallons / year for my chainsaws and clearing saws so I would save maybe 300 USD on using normal gas. Then I would have to buy oil, spend time to mix, and my headache I used to have after 8hours of brush cutting would come back. I think it's worth every penny. The saw runs much better too.
From Aspen website:
The name comes from the word alkylation, which is the name of the process used to extract the raw product.
The alkylation process takes place at oil refineries through surplus gases from the crude oil distillation and cracking plant being mixed. The result is a liquid. This liquid (alkylate) is the purest extractable petroleum product.
The alkylate is then mixed with a number of other components and we now have a finished product, ready to be used in most small engines.
Better for your health, the engine and our environment
When you use Aspen environmental petrol, you avoid dangerous substances such as benzene and aromatic hydrocarbons, substances that can cause serious health problems. The engine is also treated more kindly, for example, the spark plug and combustion chamber are kept cleaner. The petrol can be stored and even after long periods of no use, your engine starts without any problem if your tank has been filled with Aspen environmental petrol. Environmentally, there are numerous benefits, e.g. the formation of ground-level ozone (smog) is reduced by more than 50 %.
Maximum efficiency
Small engines are often uncomplicated and are technically simple engines with less than optimal combustion rates. This means that much of the fuel escapes unused. This, in turn, has a negative impact on both the environment and you, the user.
Aspen 2t is a ready-mixed petrol with 2 % fully synthetic two-stroke oil.
