But it never seemed to run right with the Trufuel. It wouldn't get up to full RPM's and would bog down easier. Ran like a top on 87. I assumed it didn't have enough compression to fully burn the higher octane Trufuel, but I really don't know.
Not as much to do with octane but the nature of canned fuels in general. They all will produce less power than fresh regular gasoline/gas-oil mix due to the fact that canned fuels are a mix of very refined compounds but overall has less volatility than gasoline. You are trading peak performance for convenience which is why I run my equipment on my own mix and only run canned fuel in the last tank of the season. My blower sees almost year round use so I use Echo canned fuel in it during the off season but it definitely is down on power while doing so.

I tried to google this and google thinks I'm a moron.
Can you please explain further or link me to educate myself?
Edit- the reason I ask is for the Suzuki, it does seem to not really top out at the higher RPM's, I get up to 75% on the tiller handle but any higher and it doesn't work any harder. I never thought about it being a fuel problem with "bature" in a canned fuel.

That makes sense. The difference was significant. I spent a ton of time trying to tune the carb and almost returned the damn trimmer.
That and the price difference is plenty enough for me to not want to use it anymore.
To everyone else, disregard all the nonsense I said about octane.
