The discussion of AvGas is interesting.

These last few noxious batches of fuel mix have been standard consumer road gasoline, mid-grade octane + 2 cycle lube.

Last season I was running Avgas LL100.

I am skeptical that it would be just that, as prior to last season, I'd never run AvGas, and never had this noxious effect going on, but then again, from what I am told, the formulations of road gasoline just keep getting more weirdly complex (and not just with ethanol)...

The only thing I can think of is that one is the slow pump (about twice as fast as s regular gas pump) and one is a fast pump (super fast). They're the same price at my local air port.


5 gallons I will take the slow pump..lol

I think the slow pump is 10GPM. It's shocking how quickly a 5 gallon can fills up.

30 sec's 30 bucks! Bet your filling the can a little more offend now? 044 is the same ball park as my 460 and it a drinker.... :cheese: (lots of wood though)
 
When I do work regular I can go through 5 gallons of gas and a gallon of bar oil in a week EASY!!! All of the saws are heavy drinkers if Iuse them... :lol:

30 seconds = $27.50

I've cut just shy of 4 cord and have run through about 5 tanks of fuel.
