Non ethanol fuel here is $0.60 higher than cheapest ethanol fuel. Actually supreme ethanol is higher than non ethanol here.

What maintenances do you do on a stored, PTO generator?
check the level and condition of the gearbox oil, lightly lube the pto shaft and scope it in and out.
You may wish to disassemble the housing tins once in awhile and check for insects and other vermin.

for the little any of us actually run our gasoline gens, I think whatever the bump in cost for E0 is worth it. It stores so much better.
Thank goodness for clean propane.
No E0 anywhere around me in Eastern PA.
I was so spoiled in NC, 93 octane E0, had 22 engines of various sizes to maintain, and that gasoline was wonderful.

biggest problem now is the snowblower. I suppose thankfully it has had little use lately. But with EFI, it starts right up.

I have used Avgas for the last 30 years with excellent results. Fortunately, I have easy access to it.

Haven't followed it lately (non-pilot here), but I thought there was talk of LL going away (?).
