Do you mix your gas or buy Truefuel or a premixed equivalent?

I hate the price but I always seem to buy the Truefuel, convenience I guess.

I switched to trufuel after many changed carbs. Haven't had a problem since. Worth the cost.

I refuse to use anything but true fuel in my engines now, I have not had to rebuild one of the 6 engines I own since I switched a few years ago. Before I switched I was constantly having issues. It's worth the extra cost to have my engine start when I need it

Mix my own. I have a small fuel container and a precision mixing cup so I can make exactly what I will use in a few weeks. With quality gas and the current synthetic 2-stroke oils you won't have any problems.

Mix my own of course, a couple stations up Airline sell no E. I saw Truefuel in a 5gallon metal can the other day.

Stihl fuel. Haven't had a single problem since I switched.

But I don't run nearly as much as some people here. Maybe a couple gallons a year.

100 LL Avgas in everything but boats and cars.

Well worth the $5.29/gallon, still waaay cheaper than true fuel.

mix my own...one gallon at a time using no-E gasoline and stihl oil in the small containers...also put a double dose of stabil in every can full...

been doing that for 9 years and have never had any of my 2-cycle engines fail to start in that time...

Tru fuel. Started using it when gas was high as hell because it was almost cheaper than buying and mixing. Even though it if more now I still plan on using it.

I mix my own during the spring and summer because I burn thru quite a bit of it. Around October I will switch to tru fuel since my usage goes down a good bit.

I mix mine with eth-free.

I have a tenant with a tree service company who buys the pre-mix because he is bad at math and is afraid he'll mess up his saws.

Trufuel for me. I've never had a weedeater and edger last as long as my current ones. And it is 100% due to trufuel, IMHO. They both are 4+ years old and crank immediately.

plus it's easy as hell
