Default confessions of a small engine hitman

True enough. Just wondering what those other experiences are? Pgh
weather is all over the place, from hot and humid to cold and dry?
I guess northern Alaska or the desert might get significantly extreme
weather that could effect things, but most weather experienced in the
US also occurs in Pgh. I think more likely it is the Texas gas, or
even more likely, the imagination and hype.


What's your averages? We run about 55-60F with 40-60% RH on average for
the year. The range is more like 0-100F, with 30-100% RH normal.

Pittsburgh weather averages
Annual high temperatu 61.4°F
Annual low temperatu 42.6°F
Average temperatu 52°F
Average annual precipitation - rainfall: 34.8 inch

The range is from -20 to around 105. this is from memory, could be a few
degrees different. Averages mean something I guess, but if it is 0 for
6 months and 100 for 6 months, the average is 50, so averages don't
paint a clear picture by themselves. I really doubt weather or
pollution has anything at all to do with it. If you need additives in
your gas, I'm thinking it is a problem more with your gas than anything
else. I doubt gas in Pgh has needed more additives than the refinery
puts in our gas for over 50 years. Oh, both my, and my brothers
equipment lives in unheated garage/shed, so weather could effect things,
but doesn't seem too at all.
