I'm a big fan of these little gas stoves. I like that name, SuperFuel, it just sounds like anything else is no good. However, it's all white gas: just pure gasoline before any additives. I stick with Coleman fuel myself. If you find the need to ever put unleaded fuel in your fuel bottle, you better figure out what you're doing wrong and avoid the outdoors until you do. You're asking for a nightmare's worth of trouble from your stove. Have you ever seen the gum and varnish that dried up gasoline turns into? You'd be much better served by rounding up a handful of pencil-sized sticks and building a cook fire if you have to. Besides, where are you going to find unleaded fuel in the backcountry anyways?

MSR "Super Fuel" is all hype. Don't waste your money! This stove works great with all brands including the less expensive one's which contain more sulfur compounds. It will even run, not nearly as efficient however, on unleaded fuel in an emergency, though not recommended. The cleaning & preservative additives in "Super Fuel" perform the same function as the additives Coleman has been using for decades, plus this stove doesn't burn any hotter than 9.5K BTU's no matter what brand of white gas you use!
