Whhooaa. Around here you only see 89 alcohol free. I think it’s about .25-30 more. I just get it when I need it. For reference a landscaper told me he mixes all his gas...buy a couple of $600 trimmers or $8-900 blower. That will fix it. I do it sometimes. My Kohler doesn’t care. Matter of fact I changed the plug the other day 12 years and 500 hours and still looked ok.

Yes .... any time you can run ethanol free gas it is better for all small engines. Ethanol is bad for your motors. I owned and maintained over 100 pieces of small equipment in my lawn maint company and ethanol gas is terrible. We used additives, it helped but I hate ethanol gas.

Really? Looks to me like Walmart prefers proper inflation over nitrogen.
See the air lines from the central air inflation system on the hub.[emoji6]

Watch the video on the first page. The physics don't show any value to nitrogen in tires. As noted earlier, if it's free why not? Don't get suckered into paying for it.

I watched the video thought about Tom Brady when he talked about psi lose due to temperature drops. Then funny thing happed a few weeks later. Did the preinspection on the truck. Around 9 am probably only 85 and tires in shade. Inflated tires to proper psi Left on trip next morning cold front moved in so high 60 for the low mid 70s for high. Tire psi across all 6 tires dropped 4-6 psi makes one wonder
