Do any of you fellas use the fancy premix gas with no alky.??I got a jug of it I'll try,do you add anything to it like stabil or sea foam.?? Jug says 50/1 synthetic.Do you normally need to adjust the carb.?? Frank C.

Got 4 qt cans from Baileys free with my last chainsaw purchase.
Only used 1 qt so far with no adjustment of carb and no apparent bad effects.
I put no additive in it.

 I buy non-alky 90 octane fuel then mix it myself. Most good oil has stabilizers in so I don't add any more. As far as adjusting carbs I keep a screwdriver handy and adjust when needed sometimes once a day sometimes more. A few weeks ago I could not get  my MS440 to run right so I quit using it and checked it out when I got home. A new fuel and impulse line and it now works like it should.

A couple of years ago, I used about two gallons of it that I had purchased, with good results. Since I can get non-ethanol mid grade now, I went back to mixing my own. The pre-mixed was a lot more expensive, even after factoring in the price of me buying the oil to blend my own. One advantage I see is that it has a longer shelf life.

No need here as both stations in town sell 91 without crapola in it.    Steve

I'll admit I bought 2 bottles of Stihl's Motomix before I found gas stations with non-ethanol gas but with Stihl's Motomix costing $8.00 for a quart around here I figured I could mix a gallon on 89 non-ethanol fuel with Stihl Ultra for $5-6 compared to the $32 for 4 quart bottles of the Motomix.  Been mixing my own ever since.
