It depends on the compression ratio of your saw. Using octane that is way higher than you need, can actually make less power.
I use a lot of 100 LL Aviation gas at about $4 per gallon, I have experience no noticeable performance issues, not saying its better or worse in the performance, but the real benefit is the Aviation gas last so long, and I have had zero fuel related problems in either daily used saws or saws that have saw for upwards of 2.5 years with it in and then were finally started, again 2.5 years later and they started and ran great.

I have over 25 running saws,
Gets hard to put them all in the rotation, so non-eth fuel makes sense for me.
Use some of the saws for milling too. The extra octane is probably not needed, but 110 is my only local choice for e free gas.
I've been beat up on this issue a few times, but will continue to run it in all my saws.
I am not a professional, so 15 to 20 gallons is about all that is used in a years time.
Use what you like, and I will as well.
My boss brings a few gallons of race fuel left over from riding his quads every now and then. Like stated above no power change. I prefer it but only because the exhaust has a different smell almost like being at a sprint car race.
Hmmm... My sprint car ran on Alcohol. :msp_tongue:

A station near me is selling 110 octane leaded "racing fuel". I did not check to make sure, but I'm assuming it's ethanol free.
There are no other ethanol free options here. Would you run it in your work saws?
