When I bought my generator the Mower Shop told me to be sure to only buy 1 gallon of Premium fuel at a time and run the Generator for 15 minutes a month to keep the battery charged.

He said Premium fuel would have less ethanol in it and would stay stable longer. Regardless I add Stabile fuel conditioner anyway.

So I was so comically dedicated to the idea that Premium had less ethanol in it that for fear of getting anything but premium into my can I ran a couple of gallons of premium into my car before before putting the one premium gallon into my can for the generator just to purge the pump hose of the dreaded ethanol laced regular gas :--)

Now from what I have researched it seems there may be an even higher percentage of ethanol in premium fuel than regular as ethanol can be used to get an octane boost.

So anyone got any ideas about Premium fuel for small engines? Fact or Myth ?
