I run Non-ethanol preminum which is available here in Idaho. One benifit is that If I have a small ammount left mixed in the can but not enough for the days flying I put it into one of my saws and mix a new batch. This the only gas I use in my two strokes especially larger chainsaws
and some saw Mfgs. call for this. I use synthetic oil at reccommended rates and all is well. I don't see any benifit from using white gas myself, extra costs is about all. Non-ethanol stores much better when the engine is left wet which I do on all of my 2 strokes.

My system works well for me and is no great mystery....My plugs don't seem to build up carbon and at about $3.00 ea. at the auto parts store (NGK CM 6) big deal! My carb and fuel soft parts don't "melt" down like I have had on older saws with ethanol!

In my view heat is your enemy, lean carb settings, over propping and lack of lubrication are will do more than anything to distroy these little engines.
