Runs fine. Usually pack a can if I'm going to drill alot. Easier to store than the gallon gas jugs. Don't think it runs any better than premium gas with amsoil but some folks have difficulty getting ethanol free gas. Not a problem here

I started using it when I was still regularly running my gas auger.  I still keep it on hand even though the electric auger is used almost 90% of the time.  I'm thinking of running my chainsaw on it for cutting spearing holes next winter.  I like it, don't see any drawbacks to using it.
take care,

In addition no need to mix it up.

I use it in my 4-cycle Strikemaster. No issues noted, and it’s nice to know the fuel isn’t contaminated with water etc. I store my auger with a full tank of fuel, as it keeps the fuel line and tank grommets from drying out, (I learned the hard way), and refill it at the beginning of the season. Have never had a problem.
