I figured it was a marketing gimmick to get you to buy 88 and then they would finally raise the price, but it’s been years. are they adding extra ethanol or something?

Depending where you live, it can be really hard to find ethonal free gas. As an added bonus, carburators hate having ethonal sit in them. They’ll develop a varnish. Carbs also don’t like sitting partially dry and getting all the fuel out of them is a massive pain. Yay lawn equipment.
My dad thought it was silly for me to replace my gas powered motor with an automatic throttle control that doesn’t really work with an electric one, but having no knowledge or desire to rebuild a carburetor (like him), I think I made the right move.
My electric chainsaws and weed whacker always start. Eventually our lawn tractor will kick the bucket and I’ll either convert it to electric or buy one.
They’re so much quieter, too. Not as easy to notice when you’re the one using the tool, but compare how it sounds to be nearby someone else using one and it’s a biiiig difference
