Gads! I never thought of it that much, but it makes sense. Yeah, the Romans used to sweeten wine with "Sugar of Lead". I have no idea the compression ratio of my 850, but it might not be worth it, I must breathe in a bunch of exhaust when I run it. 100 LL has less lead in it than the old...

Thanks for posting the mix chart Randy. I printed it off! The first batch of gas i mixed for my Polaris Colt 250 was mixed with an old glass Lord Calvert bottle. It was the only container i could find and sure looked like a gallon. It looked like i was on fire the whole time!

We had 43 below last Saturday. I tried to start my 850 for the heck of it and the rope would not rewind. When we visit family in New Zealand i just tell them it goes from forty below Celsius to forty above Celsius. No pesky conversion to do.

So you would run 32:1 in a saw that calls for 50:1? Is it good insurance? I have always thought that 50:1 sounded a little thin but always did what the book recommended. My new to me MS 460 will be arriving this week and would run more oil in it if more doesn't hurt.

I get premium delivered to the farm 500 gallons at a time. The bright side is that it does not have ethanol in it yet according to the bulk dealer. So far I only use Stihl hp ultra, but don't mind the price as I do not use much in a year. I do mix it to the 50:1 Stihl recommends. I was told...
