I realize there are varying results using egas.
With that said, I have bought high octane/ethanol free gas for the lawn equipment only a couple of times but 99% of the time I just use 87 octane with up to 10% ethanol blend and so far have never experienced any engine troubles. I used one riding mower 18 years and another 12 years and never even changed the spark plugs in them. I sold each one running great when I bought a new one. I have always had an acre to take care of.
I do store my equipment in the shop and I usually run the units out of gas so none sits in the carb over the cold months.
I have seen some corrosion inside some small engine carbs others have posted though.
