Maybe i'm in the minority here  :dunno: But a deciding factor for me is the people that run the stores, if they have towels on there heads then I pass it up and go else where for two reasons.
#1 They don't keep up on the maintance of the station or their tanks (I work for a company who installs and does maintance for fuel stations).
#2 I genuinley don't care for them!

WOW !!  How about a black, Japanese, or native store owner or employee?  Do you pass them up also?

In archery we have something like the way of the superior man. When the archer misses the center of the target, he turns round and seeks for the cause of his failure in himself.

Boats, chainsaws, 4wheeler, 92 non ethylol only.   Say no to corn liquor in your toys.

 :yeah: Ethanol is very hard on small engines, many owners manuals say to use non-ethanol fuel in them!  :tup:

Don't know if it's true but I've been told ethanol is hard on older auto engines too?
So for small engines like pressure washers and chainsaws that say E0 or E10, Is 92 octane "Premium" the go to?

I Usually buy Costco since ampm changed their debit policy.  For the boat and small engines, I go to the distributor and gladly pay a bunch more for ethanol free.

So for small engines like pressure washers and chainsaws that say E0 or E10, Is 92 octane "Premium" the go to?

Smossy, the difference in octane, 87 - regular unleaded and 92 supreme, is only the ability to reduce knocking during compression.

Explanation:
"Octane rating is a measure of a fuel's ability to resist ‘knock’. The octane requirement of an engine varies with compression ratio, geometrical and mechanical considerations and operating conditions. The higher the octane number the greater the fuel’s resistance to knocking or pinging during combustion."

The "E" rating is independant of the octane rating.
E0 = ethanol free
E10 = 10% ehtanol in the gas

For small engines like "pressure washer or chainsaw", actually for any engine, ethanol free "E0", gas is much better if you can get it.

If you can't get ethanol free, use E10 or the lowest you can get, and run the tank dry when finished. And use Sta-bil Fuel stabilizer in you gas tank.
This keeps the ethanol from breaking down and creating moisture which is what harms the engines.

Hope this helps  :tup:
