There is a product on the market now called 50FUEL
It's pure gasoline premixed to 50:1 oil/gas or 40:1
Shelf life of 2 years at least.
For things like trimmers and chainsaws, it seems to solve some starting
and run problems on my equipment. Retails for $4 - $5 /qt

Wow, $16-$20 per gallon?! That's sure paying a lot extra for the
convenience of not spending 35 seconds dumping a little bottle of
pre-measured 2-cycle oil into a small gas can.

I did the math.
I'm not driving to the gas station to fill up a 1-gallon can, nor buying
the oil separately. And I'm getting pure product with no ethanol.
My Ryobi trimmer had been giving me problems with hard starting and
running. It's much better with the first tank of this stuff.
A quart will last me about 2 months of summer usage.

I don't make a special trip to fill a gas can and just bring it along
and stop on the way home and fuel the car at the same time. You can buy
synthetic oil that contains fuel stabilizer in an easy measure bottle.
I noticed a significant improvement in operation when I started using it.

I haven't noticed any issues with ethanol blend except that it was
stupidly implemented. Currently only two brands even sell it in my area
because it is more expensive than "plain" gasoline.
