It's rare for a small engine, I think, in the USA, to be designed for
a great anti-knock index than that "Regular". As you know, putting
a gasoline of higher anti-knock qualities than designed into *any*
engine which is both already running properly & not subject to
excessive heat and/or loads, can provide absolutely no positive
value.

Summarizing that as saying that the octane rating is designed into
the engine and most "small engines" are designed for 87AKI here in
the states, why would you even *want* to put gasoline whose flame
front moves slower (so to speak) into an engine, unless it's
designed for such fuels?

He is not concerned about octane ratings. If you read the post, you'd
see he mentioned it has no ethanol. Many small engines have long term
problems with ethanol and many of us are using gas without it.

And some of us are lucky enough to have more than one local vendor for
non-eth gas . I find it interesting that the town of less than 3,000
population where I live has non-eth available at multiple outlets , yet a
city of near a million Memphis Tn doesn't have a single one ...
