where to order fuel for 4 stroke motor?

I'd suggest SIG Champion. SIG Mfg. is in northern Iowa. Good fuel made from good base chemicals. Sigmfg.com I believe is their web address.

For most four stroke engines, any brand of fuel that has 18 to 20% oil content should be fine.
There is a never ending debate on whether there should be castor oil in the mix. I will not argue either way. I have my preference but will not try to convince anyone that I am right.
Defintely check the prices at www.sigmfg.com since they may be within reasonable driving distance; depending on the mpg of your vehicle.
If there is a hobby shop near you, compare their price to SIG and others to see what is the better deal.
Here are some fuel sellers who ship

Magnum http://www.magnumfuels.com
