Premixed fuel is like Yeti coolers. I really admire people who figured out how to convince people to pay 8X the price to buy something that they used to be perfectly happy buying at 1/8 the price.
Like Yeti coolers, there ARE people who genuinely benefit from them. It's about 1 in 1000, I figure. The rest are just spending $400 for "benefits" that aren't real. Yes, for emergency service use where fuel has to sit for long periods of time and must work when needed.
For the average user, buy 1 gallon of non-ox at a time. Use top quality synthetic oil mixed exactly to the engine's stated requirement. Put a piece of tape on the can and write the date. If older than a year, pour it in a tractor or car. Repeat. Man, that's complicated, isn't it?
If you like small bottles that seal tightly, get is SIG camping fuel bottle for $10 and put your gas in that. I do that for areas where we have to hike in to cut. Works great.
