WRT fuel, it is logistically difficult to keep gasoline fresh and rotated.

BUT, if you don’t mind paying $20 per gallon, you can buy a 5 gallon sealed can of stabilized, pre mixed, chainsaw gas.

It is 50:1 and 94 octane - and it is absolutely safe and reasonable to run in any car (or generator, etc.) - it will likely be the nicest gas that engine will ever consume.

You can store and use it for years.

Also, you can just use it for chainsaws.

EDIT: This is the brand I use:

"Remains stable 2 years in the tank and 5 years in the sealed container"
