The ethanol mandate has created a new industry of non ethanol fuels. True Fuel, Stihl and even Home Depot have their own versions of premixed and straight gasoline they sell in 1 quart containers for $6 or more retail.

I actually buy leaded 109 octane racing fuel by the gallon for about $9.00/gallon. It is the only alternative I can find here in NH that is within a ten mile drive. There are no other gas stations that sell non ethanol fuel around here.

For storage over the winter I put True Fuel into my multiple small engine equipment. I run them down to nothing, put just a little bit into their fuel tank. Then I restart and let them run for a few minutes to circulate the True Fuel and then shut it off. I have gone to this method after replacing two carbs.

It is very illuminating that we have to spend a buttload more money to get fuel that doesn’t have all the government mandated crap that’s put in it because of politics, isn’t it?

I'm about ready to purchase about half a dozen of these.

I did a little research, and was surprised to find that, even in quantities of 1000, I'd be hard pressed to find the 1 quart containers themselves empty for less than $3 each. At smaller quantities and with shipping, the price starts getting close to the $6 I'd spend at Home Depot for the cans with the fuel in them.

I plan on reusing the quart containers once I go through them to store alchohol-free 2-cycle gas that I mix myself with a little stabil thrown in.
