If it were simply a mixture of pump gas, 2-stroke oil and Stabil I'd agree it's a bit pricey. But it's not. There's no amount of Stabil you can add to pump gas to make it last two years. The high vapor pressure of auto gas guarantees it will degrade in a matter of weeks. I don't know about the stuff Bailey's sells, but Stihl claims their "Moto-Mix" has a vapor pressure about half that of auto fuel. Now, for someone who uses their equipment almost year round, this stuff is pretty expensive. But if you only use your saw once or twice a year, the pre-mix stuff is pretty cheap compared to replacing a gummed-up carburetor.
