I quit Shell long ago, because of cost. Typically, I use Marathon or Speedway. Why spend the extra money on premium gas for 2 stroke engine? I use 87 octane for my truck, riding lawn mower, etc.
Maybe it is your brand of 2 stroke engines? Most are made in China (Briggs and Stratton moved to China). My father has 1988 US Made Troy Built Tiller than runs great. He just puts in new fuel each year and the tiller starts up on one pull. Although, he has mentioned that after 25 years that it might need the carb worked on. His Toro leaf blower only lasted 3 years, it was from China.
