You will love that trimmer. I do find the Echo fuel to be better than the Tru-fuel. If you don't use a lot of mixed fuel, it's worth it to buy the Echo fuel if you only have ethanol gas in your area. I mix my own fuel, just because I go through a decent amount of it every year.
Thanks, and yes already thrilled with it.
It's not super easy to get E0 around here. I know of one station, and it's hit or miss as to whether or not they'll have it on any given day.
I DO mix gas for my lawn mower, as I go through enough that it doesn't sit long. I have gone to using the Lawn Boy branded oil(after I got my hands on a bunch of it) and mix 2 gallons at a time a the recommended 32:1. I don't want to risk crudding up my other 50:1 stuff with it.
I realized the other day that the gallon of 50:1 I mixed at the beginning of the summer looks barely touched, so I think from now on that I'm just going to keep using the canned pre-mix in the trimmer and blower. Heck, the Homelite blower I bought in a pinch at the beginning of the summer(I know, not the greatest, but I needed something in a hurry and it was cheap) I've not even used a full tank of gas in-I need to dump that one and get some canned fuel in it so that I can get all the ethanol out of it before winter.
Even though I'm now mowing two yards(ours and the neighbors) the trimmer gets 20 minutes of use at most a week and the blower maybe 5 minutes. I seem to use even less in the Echo trimmer since I can just start it and go and not mess with it every few minutes.
