It's all in the cost of running the fuel... but while the cost of gas saves you at the pump, In these size engines gas causes more problems than it fixes IMO - at least in terms of these Saito 4 strokes and radials. They seem to wear out rather quickly, and have added heat etc. plus, who wants to bring gasoline inside your house to work on your equipment? I tried running one of these Saito gassers, and wasn't impressed in a few aspects - the smell inside the house was the final deterrent. Love the methanol radials... too bad they are slowly killing them.
