Non oxy is good but is still stored in bulk tanks, just take. A pint of gas run it through a coffee filter to ensure the gas is clean and then leave it sit in a clear water bottle for a week or so then look at the amount of crud that has settled out... From someone who does a large number of carb cleanings getpre mixed "tru fuel" its rated at 94oct and will make the most possible out of your machine while having no ethanol and the cleanest consumer gas... It comes in 2 quart or so cans at most hardware stores and etc

most Stewarts shops are switching (if not already switched) to ethanol free super

Check your local as I notice a lot of them are not on the map

Well, I learned a lesson earlier this fall. I was getting out a weigh wagon for work. Went to the truck stop and filled it and my truck with PREMIUM fuel. Truck went to the shop and I worked on the wagon motor. Ended up that the premium fuel had a lot of issues with water in it. Since it was more expensive the retailer wasn't moving it very fast. Had to dump fuel treatment into the gas tanks to take care of the issue. Now I just use ethanol blend and add seafoam if something sits more then a month.

Use Sea Foam year round in all my 2 stroke & 4 cycle engines, also a firm believer in the use of Marvel Mystery Oil.

Never heard of the oil. Whats the claim to fame?

Mystery oil is about the same as SeaFoam.

Wally World carries Marvel Mystery Oil, here in Montana--it's red in color & it comes in a couple of size containers--I've used it for years--good upper cyl. lubricant, it can remove carbon buildup from your engine--I generally put a pint of it in with each oil change on my outfit--Ford Explorer--V8--also use it to lube my .45 auto for pistol shooting--keeps the crud buildup soft while it lubes the gun-- ;) :)

I use MMO in my engines for off season storage, i.e. power auger / snowblower, used 3-4 months, stored the rest of the year.
