Good deal, just checked online with my local store, 33 cans in stock. Ordered then for pickup. (I'm at work right now.) Grab them in the morning.
Seems to be rotating through all the TruFuel. If I needed some, I'd be stocking up. This is cheaper than I can mix my own E0 and JASO FD oil for.
I didn't see any of the mixed fuel on sale.
Seems store dependent, and while stock lasts. Four stroke TruFuel was $2.72/quart yesterday, now they show no stock and $8/quart when it comes back in stock.
I hate to let a good deal go by, but buying stuff I don't need is wasting money, not saving money, even if it's 75% off.

A little over two gallons of mixed fuel (262 ounces) that I can mix myself at 40:1 costs me about $6.50 even at today's Biden-inflated prices:

I feel for you folks that have to buy it. I live in the heart of corn country. You cannot swing a dead cat here without hitting an ethanol plant and we have tons of stations selling ethanol free fuel as well as non bio diesel. Hell we can buy race fuel from the pump in the summer
90 octane E0 is $3.52 here.

I am not sure what our price is here but it is probably somewhat close to that. Our E10 was down around $2.88 a bit ago but they jacked it up for the holidays.
Our E0 is north of $6/gal here.

Considerably cheaper than canned fuel then
Thanks for the heads up! Just ordered some to have extra fuel on hand. Have to go about an hour one way to get my E0.
Yup definitely, but $5.72/110oz can of TruFuel is less than I can mix my own for, unless I used regular unleaded E10 and dollar store 2 stroke oil.

I do not disagree with that. What is your E10? How about diesel?

I know some folks prefer 100LL AV fuel. Here are the terminals within 50 miles of me that offer it. The best price is $5.20 and they are 24-7-365 self serve.

87 E10 is 2.39
diesel is 3.29

That is way below us. I just checked online and it was have really dropped Tuesday. Our non ethanol is $3.35, E10 is $2.80, E15 is $2.65, E85 is $2.00 and Bio diesel is $3.64
E10 $3.80-something, diesel $5.50+
I wouldn't run 100LL in anything that exhausts where I'm breathing. The "low lead" part of 100LL is only low lead in comparison to 130 octane avgas, it's still several times more lead than was contained in old school automotive gasoline.
Trufuel 110 oz is showing $5.92 here or $5.03 if you buy 4. I think I’ll just keep grabbing e0 90 for $4 and mixing dominator at 40:1.
That stuff burns the hell out of my eyes for one, and I ain't liking the idea of breathing it in. I basically stopped using it is now I was putting it in all the stuff in the winter because of low or no use. I noticed some saws would not hold idle with it unless tuned .
