I bought some 6 gallon jugs about 18 months ago, but you'll spend more on the jug than what you'll save.

(I use them to store ethanol-free gas for my power tools. I buy the gas at an airport about 25 minutes away from my house, and at $6 a gallon, it's "worth it" to make a trip about once a season.)

Wow, $6 a gallon for ethanol free? Here ethanol free is around 30c more than regular E10.

No I'd bet he's getting avgas. That's avgas price territory.

Probably 100 octane "low lead". Which has a lot of lead in it. Some people swear by it.

No.

"Low lead" gas destroys power tools.

The airport that I go to sells both unleaded and "low lead." It's very easy to choose the "unleaded" pump. It's lower octane than 100, but I don't remember the exact value.
