$4/qt VP 40:1 Premix

[BlackCoffin]

My local Napa has a 3 day sale going one and has VP premix fuels on sale 40:1 and 50:1. They said the 40:1 is $4/qt or $16/gal. Amazon has it for $24/gal. I run the stihl premix in a few if my saws and have no complaints about it. I was going to stock up in a few gallons of the VP while it’s on sale if you guys thought it was a decent fuel? Any experience with it over other premix brands?
Currently I am running motul 800 and 89 ethanol free at 40:1 in my higher use saws.

I think all the canned fuels are basically the same fuel. It's just the oil they put in them is different. I use trufuel in my polesaw because I only use it a couple times a year.

I liked the vp when I tried it, check out Red Bull 661’s thread on canned fuels. Pretty sure he seemed to think the saw response and power was a bit better on both.

I think the stihl is 93 octane instead of 94. Still the sane thing if you ask me. I run premix in my 661/880 carb saw and it loves it. Also have put it in a few saws in a pinch and they definitely run strong. I mainly like it in the saws I rarely fire up. Ethanol free in everything else but still don’t trust it sitting for long periods of time.

Stihl is 94 octane, vp is 95 I’m pretty sure and the true fuel is 94 also I think. We have some super s pre mix that is 92 octane locally for sale too need to double check but I thought it was 4$ a qt.

I run the VP premix in winter and when I don’t think I’ll be using my tools again soon. 40:1 in saws 50:1 in everything else.

I’m going to try out a few gallons while it’s on sale and see how I like it. Worst case it smells good haha.

Leave me at least one gallon please. Lol. No I mix my own but I do use the VP fuel but if you do I would go with the 40:1 your Saw's will thank you for it plus remember that the VP is 95 octane you my have to re-tune you're carbs other than that good fuel.

 

[BlackCoffin]

I’ll get the 40:1 for sure! Good point on the retune, I’ll be sure to throw the tach on there.

Never use premix here.
Try feeding a mill or a 66 and pay for that FAT fuel bill.

VP mix oil with Aviation fuel seems to be a good long term and possible a short term plan if you can efficiently burn 100 octane fuel. This oil mix is fine in ethanol free fuel for months and months sitting in the tools. I use the aviation fuel for storage only. Know a guy who uses aviation fuel in basically stock saws with Stihl Ultra, yuck! I hate both that oil and fuel combo in low compression fat running saws. His 088 is just nasty smelling! All his saws make me wanna puke! My saws run way cleaner on pump high test and 40-1 VP mix oil. Supertec oil burns better than Stihl ultra imo, Ymmv

I'd skip the premix unless your burning very little of it. I don't have that problem. Only mix fuel a gallon or two at a time. Use about two gallons per year for storage with aviation fuel. High octane pump gas without ethanol is fine for storage imo.

Yeah it’s for my 07-S, ms661 “fun saw”, 015L and maybe 032 setup with the debarker. Those saws I may see a few starts a year if I remember so don’t mind using premix in them. 1 gal has almost lasted a year already.

Your spending smart money. No harm there.

I stocked up Briggs and Stratton at Menards 2.99 / qt. 50:1 , 40:1 and 4 cycle. Great for longer storage. I've used VP, Trufuel and Motomix. Haven't noticed any real difference.
