I've been buying the canned stuff for the saw. It's expensive but I only use maybe a half gallon a year and as it doesn't go bad it's worth it.

Five years ago, if I wanted petroleum based gasoline, I could go to the airplane pumps (at airstrips that aren't staffed 24/7) and get a jug of 100LL, or I could drive 90 miles to Lake Michigan and and pay avgas prices for mogas at a marina. But the last 2-3 years, E0 outlets have been popping up all over, for around $1 a gallon more than 87 octane E10. Now I can buy 'outdoor power equipment fuel' (89 octane non ethanol) about 25 miles away in Nashville or Mason. Or for a dollar a gallon more than 89 octane I can still get 100LL at the airport ten miles away on weekends (when the pump asks for my registration number, I tell it I'm putting 5 gallons of gasoline in Air Force One). For my purposes the 89 octane is actually a better fuel than avgas. Last fall I didn't bother with getting a jug of E0 for the generator, I now keep the generator empty and once a month I dump my 6 gallons of generator gas in a car and buy fresh generator gas. I bought half a gallon of Top Tier 93 octane E10 for the chain saws a couple weeks ago. In April I'll dump any leftovers in a lawn mower. Fortunately there's one Marathon station in Charlotte that has a separate hose for each grade of fuel, so I actually get 93 octane when I buy a small quantity of 93 octane. Does anybody know how much gas you have to pump before the grade you're buying comes out of a single hose multigrade pump?
