We’re off in the morning for a (short) camping trip with the grandkids. Taking them to a waterfall where we’ll hike in and hammock camp for the night. Been digging out all my camping gear, as it hasn’t been used in several years. I packed my MSR Whisperlite stove and refilled my fuel bottles. I looked at Walmart the other day for another gallon of Coleman fuel but they didn’t have it. Anyone else use the Whisperlite? And is the white gas still available where you are? It seems it’s not as readily available as it once was.

In a pinch you can use regular unleaded in a whisperlite, it's just a bit dirty.

I’ve got the whisperlite international that will burn anything as long as you change the orifice. Gas, diesel, kerosene, white gas, fuel oil. The Whisperlite is pretty forgiving as far a fuel choices go. Just keep the jet clean.

I also use a Whisperlite. I've never tried anything but Coleman white gas or equal that the hardware store sells, but if I was without, I'd maybe try the high-octane ethanol free gas I can get at a few stations around here.
Been a year or maybe even two since I bought any Coleman fuel. I wonder if it is available here...think I'll see about that.

Why high octane?
