New law in Oregon says gas has to be 10% ethanol year round, no exceptions.
It works, but I don't like it in my collection of various small engines.
Somebody very close to me sells race gas, $7.75/gallon
, for Sunoco 112 octane racing fuel. I'm wondering if it would be worth it to use this in my small engines instead of the pee they sell at the gas station? Obviously they don't need the high octane at 6-8:1 compression. How would the performance compare to 87 octane, 100% gasoline? I would use it in everything from lawnmower to chainsaw, 2 cycle, 4 cycle, flat head, OHV, OHC, etc....
Also, if I bought some I'd want it to last around 1 year. Obviously I would use stabilizer and I think race gas is a lot more stable than what you find at the pump. Also when gas starts to go bad I know it loses octane fast, but I'd be starting at 112. Would it still be better than 10% ethanol gas after it's a year old?
