I was at my local Wallyworld today, and happened upon this fuel for my leaf blower. Thought I'd try it on my gas planes, too. Any experience/opinions?

I realize that it will never replace mixing your own, due to the price, but I bought it because the wife wanted it for the leaf blower. It is a bit more convenient for her. I figured, what the heck, I'd try a tankfull myself....

Sorry, no sister. She doesn't mind helping in the yard, especially since I've had back surgery, but she refuses to mix fuel. I agree wholeheartedly, at that price, it isn't any cheaper than glow fuel.

Instead of buying overpriced premix of questionable quality. Turn it around and do all of your engines a favor.
What I do is I run all of my garden equipment and other 2 strokes on my plane fuel. I mix up a batch (I mix 10lt at a time, you may wish to mix a smaller Qty) of the fuel for the planes and I use that mix in my garden equipment.
It means the garden equipment gets fed on fresh 40:1 Premium pump Gas / Synthetic oil (I currently use Castrol TTS) so it sure is kept happy and I always have fresh fuel for my planes. It is also way cheaper than buying premix.
If you went that way, you may want to get a quart bottle and refill that from your plane container for your wife to use on her blower.
