I apologize if this is a thread high-jack, but I literally just got off the phone with someone who manages a gazzionaire’s large estate and he recommended VP Racing fuel from Lowe’s (@$23/gal). He’s a bit wonky about details, so when he said 50-1 & 40-1, I said ”oh, you’re talking about 2-cycle.” He said, no, they have both 4 & 2 cycle, and use VP in both. looking at Lowes website, there it is: $23/gal, for 4-cycle, and various mixes for 2-cycle. Then I check BITOG.
my question is: for 4-cycle, is this stuff any better/different than just going to a no-ethanol gas station? I mean, he doesn’t care, because the gazzionaire ultimately pays, but he just claims it’s night and day different. Of course, all my life I’ve been using cheapest pump gas for the lawn mower, but if no ethanol gas from a station is better, heck yes I’ll pay $1-$1.50 / gal extra, but not $23/gal. Or am I being a total dumba*s cheapskate?
