I just had to have a carburetor replaced on my two-cycle string trimmer because--I think--the gas separated over winter last year.  It's my last two cycle engine.  The shop turned me on to that premixed/stabilized fuel that comes in cans.  I use so little in the string trimmer it's worth it.  I put Stabil in everything else.  A friend tried to tell me it wasn't worth it but I thought that was baloney.  And I run premium in all my engines too.  We don't have much corn juice, er, ethanol around here, but that's probably--I'm guessing--because we are not a deep blue state?  We've got some blue cities for sure but they haven't taken over our legislature--and we even have a Republican governor--so we don't automatically default to save-the-planet stuff here.  (Gee. I my be spending too much time on the Politics Forum...)

I don't have a large lot, half an acre, so I replaced some power machines with electric.  I now run an electric chain saw and an electric leaf blower.  I've got at least a hundred feet or more of outdoor extension cords--no batteries for me.
