    Question on used gas

    I have (6) 5gal jugs of used gas with no history of mixing(meaning I don’t know if it happened). Your opinion? 1) don’t use 2) use in my Jeep at a 1/10 ratio to pump gas 3) use in stock superjet and add oil at proper mix. 4) pour on self and burn for stupid thoughts.

    Looking for guidance on what I need in an A/M ski

    I looked at a dealership online and they were asking 10,500 for a Superjet, which is unreasonable, even for Hawaii. So I'm interested in purchasing an aftermarket ski that has already been built and I wanted to know if my goals were reasonable. I have been cruising the "whole skis for sale"...
