It also comes down to what you do. If you're passing the cost of the aspen onto the customer then run aspen. If you own your own forest that you harvest for firewood then maybe normal fuel. It all depends! 

 

On a side note I am off to buy more aspen for tomorrow 😂

I've just been studying and round here there is a service station selling BP ultimate unleaded which is allegedly ethanol free except in the south west of England. Found this as well

Esso super unleaded petrol (Synergy Supreme+ Unleaded 97 and Synergy Supreme+ 99 ) is ethanol free (except in Devon, Cornwall, the Teesside area, Scotland and NW England).

I switched over to aspen a couple of months ago. I noticed this year that after a day on the saw I had a horrible head ache and would cough for a couple of hours after work. Yes it’s about 3 times the price but my headache and cough have gone. I’ve also gone over to using the Echo battery top handle which I do as much as possible with and it’s amazed me how little fuel I actually use during the day. I’m sure if your using bigger saws all day you’ll notice the financial differences but for me it hasn’t really been noticeable.

This is the issue £900 of petrol Vs ~£3000 of aspen. That pays for my accountant, van insurance, tax etc. It's a lot of cash...

Considering I am already asthmatic I prefer Aspen, I'm not sure I would notice the breathing issues from petrol mind. I use aspen most of the time anyway. Fingers crossed when I get to the age I really need it I can buy a pair of prosthetic lungs 😂

I guarantee you fume hemical difference is very little ,trust me ,it just doesnt smell .

For commercial purposes Aspen or motomix is not viable end of story ,only worth for occasional user ,sorry for my crap english.
