Premixed fuel is like Yeti coolers. I really admire people who figured out how to convince people to pay 8X the price to buy something that they used to be perfectly happy buying at 1/8 the price.
Like Yeti coolers, there ARE people who genuinely benefit from them. It's about 1 in 1000, I figure. The rest are just spending $400 for "benefits" that aren't real. Yes, for emergency service use where fuel has to sit for long periods of time and must work when needed.
