I put money and a ton of work in my motor and I like this engine clean especially on the inside. I run this gas for years on lawn movers, chain saws, generators and last but not least on my RC engines 35, 50, 85 and 100cc. You have to see the difference between two engines with the same run time, with "regular" and that GTX260.

Some local Vette guys fueled probes from different gas stations and sent that to a lab because of problems with the old fuel injected motors. The highest ethanol content was !!!!!!!!32% - all these guys do not fuel pump gas anymore. Most run Aviation gas.

Pump gas is just bad for the motor - period.
