I've never understood the hysteria over gasoline with 10% ethanol.
I bought a new Stihl chain saw last month and all the owner's manual says about gasoline is a minimum of 89 octane and no more than 10% ethanol.

I've used 10% ethanol in anything and everything for over 20 years, from the family car, pickups, chain saws, weedeaters, lawn mowers, garden tractors, anything with an internal combustion engine, and I can honestly say I've never had a problem that could be attributed to the ethanol.
For what it's worth, all of the two cycle oils I've seen lately already contain fuel stabilizers that eliminate the need for additives.
