I'm thinking about switching to AVGAS for my OPE. I can get it at a small airport for about $1 more per gallon then premium. I have a few questions:
1. What it the typical shelf life of AVGAS? What makes it keep from going stale?
2. Is it still recommended to use STABIL?
3. I know chainsaws love high octane but could the high octane cause any unintended consequences in other OPE such as 4 cycle generators, tillers, log splitters that specify regular 87 octane gas? (I'd really like to use AVGAS in my backup generator if it stays fresh longer).
4. If high octane is bad for 4 cycle OPE engines would a blend of regular and AVGAS be a good idea? Would the AVGAS blend help keep regular gas from going stale.
TIA
