Locally the Citgo and Kwik Trip sell premium uleaded no ethanol gas- and my old Goldwing needs it since fuel pump and carbs are not ethanol certified- carb rebuild and new fuel pump 2 years back was a few $100. The 2 stroke chainsaws unless less than 2 years(?) old and marked ethanol certified need this premium also- or the regular non ethanol available at a couple specialty stations. Older lawntractors- no ethanol, newer than 1990 MAY be ethanol capable- need to check manuals. One hassle was California market until 2005 or so didn"t use much ethanol and CARB didn"t check for offroad- they used MTBE as octane booster until it was declared cancer causing a few years back. Premium isn"t needed in most small engines- but premium may be the only non ethanol gas easily available in the market area. I can get non ethanol regular in many stations in Iowa- but a couple that don"t have the extra tank will have only ethanol mix like the one nearest to older brother. RN
