Oh no, not another poll from Windthrown! Which gas?

[windthrown]

Which gas do you use? GF complains about me insisting on using super in the saws here. Says all the county employed people use regular in the county owned MS290s. I say these are my saws, and they get super. The county can get their 290s fixed after they fail from pre-ignition.

Straight corn whiskey for my saw.......a little for me,little for the saw....little more for me....ummm......what was this about?



I use what the manufacturer suggests.....89 octane.......new to all this tho....

 

[Blazin]

I use mid-grade in my 365 and Av in the 395.

But then you also gotta ask yourself are you really getting the grade of gas you think you are?

 

[zr900]

I use TORCO 110 mixed at 40:1 in my Dolmar, and 93 in all my other saws also mixed at 40:1.

I am lucky enough to live just 1 town over from where they make TORCO race fuel, and they also refine all their regular, mid-grade, and premium fuel as well, and they don't use ethanol, or any other $hity additives.

Twinkle, the Barbie Saw, and Old Sparkless prefer super. But I live in a very very small community and sometimes the super does not exist. Then the saws have to make due with the next grade down. I prefer a double mocha or sometimes celebrate with a double caramel macchiate or however you spell that kind of snooty coffee drink. So, I can't check any of the boxes.

 

[Pablo26]

Always super, which is 91 octane in CA.

 

[Gologit]

Av-gas when I remember to take some home with me. Mid range otherwise. Doesn't seem to make a lot of difference. Plugs last about as long with either one and there isn't any carbon problem if the carb is set right.

 

[grandpatractor]

110 racing fuel-Nothin like the smell of high octane burning :hmm3grin2orange: :fart:

 

[Big Neb]

The High Grade seems to be the one without ethanol in this area.

The few cents I would save going with lower octane fuel with ethanol just doesn't add up to much. Maybe some of you guys that are going 24/7/365 the cost savings might be worth it.

Ah, woman after my own heart.. I treat myself to a quadruple venti caramel macchiato once every 6 weeks or so. Too pricey for even once a week tho.

High Test with full synthetic oil.....

 

[Stihl 041S]

Mechanicsburg,Pa, race gas.

 

[16:1mix]

I use the non alcohol grades in all my two stroke engines. Cars can have the 'whiskey' fuel! I don't mind buying super (93 octane) for the saw because I use so little saw gas that the difference in cost between it and the sub grades would not by me a cheese burger at the end of the year!

I usually use premium,but every now and then I do sneak in some vp 108 I like that smell too!

 

[OLY-JIM]

92 octane premium and 50:1 synthetic.

 

[ciscoguy01]

Gas eh?

not sure, but wouldn't one think that for something like a saw that really doesn't burn all that much gas using the premium would be the way to go??? Even if a saw burns 2 gallons a day that's only say $1 a day tops difference. Wouldn't everyone agree that this is about the cheapest way to keep your saw tip top from the start??? I know for me it's w/out question... A wise man once told me, "You get out what you put in..."

eh?

Just like Cookin' with Justin Wilson

High octane for everything, boat, truck, wifey's car, etc.

 

[ross_scott]

I use regular 91octane at a 33:1 mix in the 575xp regular 91 in my car and quad bike

Your octane rating are different to the USA. Your 91 is our 87.

 

[Fuzly]

I'm on a Mobil kick.

Mobil 2T and

93 octane from the local Mobil station/bait shop/sporting goods and liquor emporium.

Aquafina for me because I'm behaving myself for the new year.
