    Yep. Most years that you don't get at least a 6% wage increase, then you are getting essentially a decrease in pay. This year is especially true. 1024px-SMirC-thumbsdown.svg.png

    When I bought my 455 Rancher in 2015 I got the 4 cans of Husqvarna gas for the extended warranty. I usually only go through a couple cans a year to shorten blocks that won't fit in my tiny F3CB so the saw just sits for the most part. I have heard (from somewhere) that it is recommended to run the canned pre-mix prior to storage to keep things squeaky clean. So far (knock on wood) the saw still starts/runs fine after a minor tune-up.

    I did run a gallon of high test (no ethanol-free here) mixed with a bottle of Husqvarna 2cycle oil through it, last year when I was using the saw more for clearing some scrub out. I mixed it on the rich side as there was a lot of mosquitos :rolleyes: at the time. If I had to use the saw on a regular basis, I'd use gas and oil I mixed myself as it is cheap compared to the canned variety but still have the store bought stuff for storage.

    Again i wish everyone using e-10 e-15 or e-????? the best of luck, me as long as i can find real gas without the ethanol that's what i will keep using in my autos trucks and chainsaws.

    I still feel in the canned fuel for chainsaws the RedArmor canned gas is a good choice, and mixing their oil with real gas is another good choice.
