Yes, probably about 4 hours total in 10-15 minute test runs, over the past 4-5 years.

I've been running avgas in my 4-cycle mower for 12 seasons, and we mow every 3 days (about 1.5 hours each mow). I've also been running avgas/oil mix in my 2-cycle leaf blower for at least 8 seasons. No issues in either. I typically change the spark plug and filters in both every year.

Are you running it because it's etoh free or just high octane?

It's low combustion would make me think it leaves some unburned fuel around.

Started using it because it burns cleaner and doesn't go bad like regular gas. Also, it's nice to have around to clean up stuff, like grease or oil in your clothes. It doesn't leave a gasoline smell like pump gas. Clean your item, let it dry, and, if it's clothing, throw it in the washing machine. No muss, no fuss, no stains.

I had no idea it didn't have that gasoline smell! Cool.

I'd estimate it's as loud as a lawnmower.
