Non E gas, earl and stabil in the boat feeds everything 2 stroke. Pop the hose and fill up the gal can when I need mo. The XR6 has been liking it for 10 years and nothing else seems to mind.

I never heard of this stuff, checked it out. $20 a gallon for gas with oil and stabilizer 500%+ profit margin time to open up a bidness and rake coin off some lazy mofos

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.

Yall do know that you can get 2 cycle oil in containers for different sized gas cans right?

50:1 2.6 oz to 1 gal.

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 used to have dozens of each size when I was cutting trees, but everything I own would run off of what the saw got. I guess it has been working because my weed eater and blower are both 17 years old

It isn't all that crucial.

I know a guy who's never measured how much oil he put in two stroke gas. He fills the tank, puts how ever much oil he thinks he should put straight out of the bottle, shakes it up and runs. He doesn't have any more problems than anyone else.

I run my own mixed gas in my weedeater and chainsaw. On the saw, since I just bought it, I do have a bottle of true fuel. I've gone back and forth between the mix at the start of the day and ending with true fuel. Just so I don't have to worry about running it dry.

Exactly, I buy 2-stroke oil by the gallon. Break it down to oz's and apply 50:1, 40:1, 32:1, etc. A little simple math will save you $4.00/gallon. I never thought Trufuel would get off the ground, guess I that's why I'm a brokedick.

Hell pawpaw would just add a jigger of 30wt/gallon, chainsaw doubled as a mosquito fogger.

I am not trying to lose power or have to constantly clean plugs, so I err on the lean side. Plus, I'm not willing to frick up a $1000 saw, so I get that right and the rest gets saw gas

I've always mixed my own and didn't understand the market for the stuff. But seeing how little I've used this year in weedeater and blower it's tempting to try the premixed. I've used all of one gallon so far this year.

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.

I can't imagine the difference in his cost using this. This is the exact reason I never have used it in the past, because we went through ALOT of gas. Seems his problem would be more with reading than math, since it's printed on the bottle.
