Here’s a thread for discussing the octane of fuel, and why some are better than others.
Keep it civil.
Keep it civil.
I don’t think you were the problem in that discussion Bill. Lol.Alright I'll sum it up and keep it as civil as I can...
Anyone who's been around here long enough and isn't a clueless knowitall ahole knows 87 makes the best power in a saw.
Or so I've heard on the internet.
Or something.
There, I feel all better now...
had a guy tell me he ran 110 in all his (stock) saws, made crazy power. i said ok...
People like that should be forced to wear warning labels.
I remember on our way to the boat ramp as a kid dad would drive through a BP service station and fill up the boat with good ol ZOOM 2T mix right outta the pump. It all went down hill since then.Around my parts the new EPA low octane pump gas not made for industrial 2T's is rubbish. Kero makes more power in my saws lol
Wish I could go back in time and get a few 44 gallon drums of real pump fuel ahh the good old days...
Same here, and at times nearly $1 a gallon more than regular. Plus only one nozzle for all grades.Unfortunately, the only non-ethanol around here is all 91+ octane premium.
This might be a dumb question. Besides the octane level, what are the differences between 87 and 91 octane. Is 91 octane cleaner? whatever that means...
I always buy 91 on the assumption that it burns a little cleaner. I use it in all my 2-strokes and my 4-stroke splitters and riding mower. Am I wasting my money?
I have easy access to both e-free.
