Lets do some math. I'll knock it down to 2nd grade level, so you'll understand.
TruFuel
$12 per year for 2 cans of TruFuel, which is about what the AVERAGE user in North America would use
Never any carb problems again. Equipment works perfect, the first time, even after storage. You are now using a premium, non ethanol, 92 octane fuel that last 2 years once open or 5 years if not opened. You get 15-20 years out of a piece of equipment.
Mix your own fuel
$2.50 - gallon of gas
$2.50 - two stroke oil
$1 - squirt of fuel stabilizer
$6 per year to mix your own fuel. Congratulations, you saved $6. At the expense of using stale fuel for 9 months out of the year, and really stale fuel for 6 months out of the year. You also have a much higher probability of gummed up carburetors and $100 repairs. Consider the extra $6 per year that the AVERAGE TruFuel user pays to be an insurance policy against gummed up carburetors and broken equipment.
Like the guy above me said, if you need more than a gallon a year of fuel, the cost don't make sense. If you are the 90%+ of users that use less than a gallon, TruFuel is the shnizzel, and it's cost is not excessive.
