I've never tried premium. Do you actually see a performance difference?

It sure makes a big difference in my old Lawn Boy [2cycle] lawn mower

I will try it once this mixed fuel is gone. What about if the manual says only to use regular like my old Ted Williams Outboard? Do you also use it in your ATV's

I use it in my ATV....but I've never put anything else in it so wouldn't have a basis for comparison.
"Camo" is perfectly acceptable as a favorite colour.

its been a few(15) years since I did my small engine course, so forgive my bad memory but as I recall especially with chainsaws, because the engine cycles so fast, the issue is that lower octane fuels are more prone to cause knocking, heat build up etc causing premature wear and tear if not outright engine damage.
the saws i've run regular gas on just didnt perform as well.

Thanks for the suggestions guys. It's the 91 Octane. I've been using that in all of my small engines. I noticed that the pumps I use in the US have a blurb under the 91 Octane sticker that says 'Non-Oxygenated Gasoline: For use in Collector Vehicles, Vehicles Eligible to be Licensed as Collector Vehicles, Off-Road Vehicles, Motorcycles, Snowmobiles, or Small Engines Only'
So, I figured it would be for my lawnmower, snowblower, and later my chainsaw.
I don't know if the 91 Octane is the same beast on our side of the border, but I've never had an issue with either source that I can tell.
I guess either way I need to pick up some seafoam. I've been meaning to give it a try anyway.
