We typically get 300,000 out of our gas burners, and have never had any fuel related problem with running whatever the cheapest we see is. We use Mobil 1 oil, changed every 10,000 miles. The last truck I owned, before the one I've been driving for the past 13 years, parked beside me at Lowes last week. The second owner said he still hadn't been in the engine. It had 280 something on it when I sold it 13 years ago. It had near new compression when I sold it, and it had pulled a lot more than it was ever designed to.
As long as I can get ethanol-free for the small engines, and not have to remove ethanol from gas again, I'm good.
