Run it 50/50  100LL/marine gas so there is no ethanol.   Lead is good stuff its a lubricant so the valves and rings love the stuff.

True but not necessary.  Modern gas engines are designed to run on unleaded fuel.  Unless you are running a high performance engine with high compression, you will be wasting your money; leaded fuel is expensive.  If you are just trying to get away from the issues caused by ethanol, then just go with ethanol-free gas.  Use this website to find the station nearest you.

Yea I need it for my new motor.  12:1 in an air cooled 416ex has proved to be too much for pump gas and I don;t wanna spend the coin on race fuel

and btw, thanks for the great link!
