In my 036 using 110 seemed I lost power but it's a lower compression. I'll do more testing with octanes and oils when I get my ported 372 in. I'll use the 372 and 660 for testing. I have stihl ultra, 800 off-road, and getting 2R to test. I'll also compare 93 non-E to 110 in both.
You need to bring them to Provencal. We can do all kinds of testing.;)

In autotune saws I lost 10% from 87 to 110. Plus I ended up with one scored piston from it and K2 or 800 not mixing well with the race gas. I can't remember for sure.
I haven't experienced any mixing issues with 110. It has a long shelf-life and smells really good.

Y'all need to come to Plain Dealing. We've got larger Quercus species up this way.
If we drive 2 hrs to compare saws make sure u have us a tree bigger than the load in the back of your truck in your avatar!!! Lol! If the Quercus is that size Ill just bring my 241c:eek::cunaooooo:

I think if you do more timed cuts you'll lose power with the 110. It was turbo blue fuel and I guess one of those oils didn't stay suspended in it good. I think it was oxygenated fuel too.

Square up some big oak to a 24x24" cant. That would be a blast to cut cookies in.

I used non-oxygenated Sunoco 110. I'll test again but my thoughts are higher compression saws, 205+ compression, benefits from racing fuels.

maple is considered a hard wood in kentucky and one of the most common in my area beside a hack berry.

i use 87 or 90 octane ethanol free it is considered conventional gasoline compared to the oxygenated stuff sold at the pump.
