These are fun threads, but they always boil down to guys with book knowledge saying one thing, guys with practical knowledge saying something different, and guys like me licking the window

Yeah Jon......these are good threads as long as people don't get twisted.
I've still got a bunch of learning to do....and will keep learning on my life I hope.

I've torture tested some on the mill running regular ole 87. The 390 had a mix of 87 and 93 from when I filled the jug up. I got 3 slabs and used 5 tanks of mix on Tuesday. It had previously run on all 87. I was at a station with 93 so I said what the hell I'll run some.
six pages and nobody's been called an A-Hole, in a thread like this ???
what's this place comming too ???

Guess the high octane crowd hasn't found this thread yet.
The only reason I was running the 110 was due to non-ethanol. I cant get non-ethanol at any stations, so I was grabbing CAM 2 110 low lead.
I got my hands on VP 94 octane 2 cycle ......... a few 5 gallon buckets of it for this spring.
About the same overall price as the 110, but I am betting my saws will see a slight increase in power after a proper tune and some more oil added to the mix.

I didn't know cutting firewood was this complicated! Think I'll have another drink.

Nice reads.
I'd like to add that 32:1 holds higher oil pressure than 50:1.
I run 92 octane in all my small engine tools that set more than they get used.....main reason being is that I can get non ethanol 92 real easily.....no other non ethanol options for me unless i drive futher.

my old man cuts firewood and only burns 87 his premix is smelly and foul 20 ounces of supertech outboard with 5 gallons of gas for the old homelite and poulan.
they both are still running after 20 yrs of abuse. so i can say 87 is safe to use if no high test 89-93 is available.

U'r saws are most likely engineered to run on E10. Even if not, a carb kit is $12, lines even less. If you use the saw a lot, you're spending big bucks to avoid small dollar repairs.

funny though the m-tronic stihls say you can use up to E25 in there saws and non m-tronic only up to E10
thought it wouldn't matter on either.

I have used E10 for about 7yrs with no adverse effects- and many sit with it in the tanks for months. I do use Ultra which has a stabilizer.
