I used to think that was high... now diesel costs more than that.
It's all about perspective.
I’d bet it’s more now...

I only go through about 80 gallons a year..

It’s all I run in saws and the wood mizer.

And the last tank full of the season in the mower.

Made some ginkgo slabs yesterday. Cuts and looks like maple.

That stuff Matt gets is good stuff, can't get it here. I wish they would open a shop in Tulsa. I use Sta-bil in straight gas, never a problem. I would use Startron too. I use Sea Foam in my 2-stroke fuel on occasion.

Where would one go at the airport to buy some gas? Who would I need to talk to there?

The reason I ask is I doubt that they have self serve pumps and might get a little upset about me showing up to get some gas in my 5 gallon can.

Doesn't it contain lead?

I do have a small local airport where you can buy aircraft fuel; they will sell it to you if you ask them, no self serve pumps. There is a place here that sells racing fuel too; they also sell e-free 87 and 91 octane, and pure diesel. I do have access to other non-ethanol 87 and 91 octane pump gas also; which is what I use.

Saw race fuel at a pump yesterday, $7.xx gallon. I'll stay with ethanol free premium in the middle of town for my 2 stroke mix!

Ethanol free was 4.47 Saturday at my closest location.

Most commonly available aircraft ‘gas’ is 100LL which is 100 octane Low Lead
But understand it still contains a high amount of lead compared to Unleaded pump gas.

Some FBO’s will have 80/87 which is a better choice for saws.

One doesn’t need the octane really. Just needs to be ethanol free.

I’m almost certain you could run a saw on Coleman fuel. Provided it had proper oil added.
This sounds like an excellent informative & educational thread for you to start Carl. Thank you for volunteering to do this. Let us know when you post it.

Exactly, which is why I buy 87 or 91 e-free. The fuel Matt buys is 89 octane with whatever they blend with it to make it last 2 years. Matt is going through 80 gallons per year so he may not need it for most ope; but it’s good insurance for stuff that sits

I should save the next 30 ish cc Poulan for the experiment.

But I don’t have a Coleman lantern.

Do they even have them anymore?

I’d love to try to burn down one with a 16” x 3/8 LP and low rakers. Stuff a hot plug in there. [emoji108]

Coleman still makes gas lanterns. You can buy fuel for them at Wal-Mart.
