I'll have to look into that motomix. High octane and a 2 year shelf life would be awesome.

Why would anyone use that premix stuff at $8.00 a qt. is beyond me. You can buy the Stihl HP Ultra and Premium 92/93 octane gas without ethanol and mix your own for less than half that cost and it's the same thing.

For home owners it's easy

I'll admit it's lazy, and after seeing the price I think I'll pass. I'm happy with my amsoil saber, just wish non-ethanol fuel was available here. I suppose racing fuel still has ethanol in it??

No ethanol in racing fuel.
But still only has a shelf life of only a couple weeks.

Stihl ultra oil is an ash-less ester base oil, as is the Echo RedArmor. Both are great oils, and you can use either in any 2 cycle engine period, snowthrower, trimmer, outboard motor, pwc, saws, etc...

Echo redarmor/stihl ultra have a PEA detergent that actually removes carbon from older used engines and helps restore lost performance, also the base oil has some cleaning functions.

Both are very similar to this oil:

scoll down to "Rejuvinate" section

Ok I'm using this stuff from now on. Yes it's pricy and you're all probably typing away about how it's a waste of money but I only go thru maybe 2 gallons of gas and a gallon of mix per season. Engineered 92-octane, full synthetic oil in mix, ethanol-free. Comes in 40:1 too. $6 for mix $23 for gas. 5 year shelf life unopened and 2 year after opened. Doesn't even smell like fuel from the pump.
