100 octane ethanol free fule.

[NvBrushrat]

I've been reading all the threads about ethanol fuel and none if it sounds good.
There is a station in town that sells 100 octane ethanol free gas.
6.00$ a gallon. Is it worth it?
What will 100 octane do in a stock 50cc saw. ??

 

[cobey]

cheaper than canned gas, it should be ok
maybe not worth it... but way better than ethy poo
91 non ethanol would be a better deal

 

[KenJax Tree]

Nothing good and nothing bad, you don't need the high octane but its better than using corn fuel

 

[HuskStihl]

Is that AV gas? Usually ethanol free unleaded race gas is more expensive. It'll work fine, but will actually make less power and leave more unburned fuel than 87. If it's 100LL AV gas, skip it. Oh how I would love to be able to pump EtOH free 100 unleaded for $6. Jealous.

We're paying the equivelant of $6.25/gal for basic unleaded ethanol gas. $6 would be cheap.

I paid $6.92 per gallon for E-free 93 a couple weeks ago. I'm not sure why it costs so much but I don't burn that much. Two gallons will last me a couple months.

91 e-free here is well under $4 per gallon.

Buying a top end at $150 and/or replacing rubber components at $25 a pop on multiple saws, $6 a gallon to know your stuff isn't being eaten alive while sitting on the shelf..... That's the equivalent of 25 gallons of fuel..... cheap insurance against bad gas..... PRICELESS!

Ethanol free helps me sleep better at night.... Usually I mix it with sprite. Russ

Me too... but it's normally 80 octane around here... unless you get the unauthorized stuff!

$4.20 Here in the Hoosier state.
I always try to hit Missouri with an empty take and leave with a full tank. You all have the best fuel prices going.

Im getting 90 octane for $3.89 per gallon.its breaking me up because in a good week I go through 12 gallons in the scag and weedeaters and blowers.plus $75 per fill up in my reverseless ford.glad im not large scale with several mowers and a bigger truck.

 

[woodeneye]

Yeah, Missouri ain't a bad place to be. I live right on I-35 and get my E-free gas for a lil more than $3.50. Got lots of walnut, too

 

[Dilly]

E-free is the biggest thing you need octane is a back and forth thing on here usually I try to run 87-91 octane in my saws but a 100 I think should be fine but I don't jack squat

 

[SAWMIKAZE]

90 oct eth-free is 4.99 a gallon here

 

[blsnelling]

I get 91 octane e-free for $4.59.

"If it's 100LL AV gas, skip it."
Why is AV gas bad again?

Has lead added & too high octane. But I would not run any gas over 93 octane.

 

[fearofpavement]

The 100 octane pump gas may not be avgas but likely has lead. The only reason avgas has lead is because that's the only way they can get the octane above 100 and still retain other characteristics.

I think it was 3.99
