Alternative to Coleman fuel

Aspen 4t, I use it for everything now, Colman cooker, lantern, chainsaw, swear by it. No blocked generators, burns really clean

Am I to take it there aren't any generic brands of fuel competing with Coleman over there?

Not as such although Aspen 4 is an alkylate petrol popular here when you can get access to it (very small distribution network) and its popular in parts of Scandinavia where its sometimes available at the pump. The only gallon cans of Coleman I've seen in the UK was the stock I had off an American stove collector who was with the US Airforce in the UK. Price of Coleman has dropped a lot the last couple of years, its was £12/$18 a litre now its half that, still expensive compared to US prices though.

You using Coleman? Ozark? santaman

Ouch. That is expensive. it's about $8-$10 per gallon here for the Coleman branded stuff (US gallons) About half that for the generics.

You must be lucky a lot of the stovies have said there has been a hike in price for Coleman fuel, well over $10 a gallon now. Have you priced any recently?

Most recent was about 2 months ago. TBH I usually use unleaded gas in the duel fuel models, and white gas in the others when I can get it.
