I would only use the bottled stuff before storing. I get 89 non ethanol at Marathon. It's called Recreational gas.I didn't notice any difference when using the expensive bottled stuff. Only lasted me 1 week

This.I use 91 octane shell. My Stihl definitely runs better with high octane gas. It uses so little it's worth it to me to to splurge for premium gas.
And this.I prefer 91+ octane on a 2 stroke. Is it better? More detergents and runs smooth. Of course I am biased however a good syn 2 stroke oil and premium fuel is as best as it gets.
Thanks for the replies , I’m definitely going to be using at least 89 in my trimmer now.
Any reason to go 93? That is what the echo premix is
I wish I could afford the premixNot really. It may help on the very hot days, but you likely won't hear any difference as you hopefully have your ear protection on.
I like the canned fuel as it has no ethanol and can be had with stabilizer already mixed in. Perfect for infrequent use in a trimmer or winter storage for my dozen plus chainsaws. I can get Super S mix easily and it's $5/can. I went two years without firing up my Ice Auger and she started on the 3rd pull.
I do in my lower end saws and equipment, but not in my bigger saws. Some of them are pretty expensive.I use 87 E10 and don't lose any sleep over it.
I usually make a seasonal mix if I'm cutting bulk. Makes economic sense. Over the years I have found that making a premix with Stabil just isn't quite as good as buying canned fuel for storage. I leave my equipment fueled as I find the primer bulbs dry out if I run them dry, especially in my box-store saws (made in Chi-Na).I wish I could afford the premix
Yep … using Stihl juice is not that expensive for me since I do most trimming and chopping up short with an electric … I’m pretty impatient with small 2S’s that don’t start … wife still talks about the amazing distance and hang time when a Weedeater went over the back fence (came to see what all the swearing was about)I do in my lower end saws and equipment, but not in my bigger saws.
