In newest premium 2strokes is ok when they are noted to be usable with E10, E15, E25. Prior to that- likely troubles. Small engine shops figure the E10 as job security for repair business.

I use straight gas if I have a choice for small engines and cycle, cars and van- premium if that is only straight gas available. RN
