Do people`s equipment *need* premium these days? All my stuff is decades old, but everything runs fine of regular. I do note that my one finicky hedge trimmer is the newest piece of equip I have....
Just depends on the situation...IMO it`s not a one-answer-for-all thing... I go through literally countless gallons of mix so I`m just glad it`s not a biggie for me
Note that I have zero idea how to change the carb on that one trimmer anyhow

I like true fuel for my 2 stroke equipment. But as I need replacements (other then chainsaw) I am going over to battery equipment.
If I recall correctly both my Stihl and Echo say minimum 89. Premium is 93 in my part of the world, so when I mixed my own that`s what they got. Ironically all premixed I`ve bought has been 93+.
Funny you mention carb replacement. My older Stihl FS 46 only needed one carb rebuild in 13 years and it was right in the open and thus super easy. My new FS50 C looks like a PITA due to added plastics. My new Echo SRM 225 is more oldschool and the carb is right out in the open for easy service, as is my Echo blower.
I`ve spent way too much on lawn equipment this year. Replaced my old FS46 trimmer for the 50C back in April, but was so disgusted by it I replaced it with the Echo. Never thought I`d stray from Stihl, but their newer stuff is not like the old. The Echo has more of an oldschool feel and while less CC`s feels more powerful. My old cheap Troy-Built blower also was starting to aggravate me with poor running so I replaced it with an Echo and am thoroughly happy. Also had to replace my rider due to my own stupidity, but in hindsight was a blessing. My old 30" mid-engine rider took about 1.25 hrs to mow my yards, but my 46" Cub I can get done in 35 minutes.
