I used regular gas (10% ethanol) and added 2 stroke oil to the mix. I mixed by the gallon depending on the mixture required.

I did not dump gas tanks and run dry in those days. From what I have read, it may, and I emphasize may, not have mattered. They would sit for weeks with gas in the lines.

If I did not have an avenue to Sthil gas reasonably priced, I would hit the local marinas and buy non-ethanol gas and mix.

Works for me. I burn maybe five gallons of gas a year in my 2 strokes, twice that in trimming years. That is a lot more time on the saw than you guys think.
