Gasoline with out 10% ethanol alcohol added to it. Ethanol gums up carburetors, damages rubber fuel lines and causes gasoline to go bad after about 3 months. It cost more to produce than gasoline and decreases mpg. Older engines also need gasoline with lead additives for the valves and valve seats.
If I were you Bama I would start trying to kill that vine in your photo. I had one of those in my yard and it dang near swallowed my house. I don't know what they are but they are worse than kudzu. It took me 3 years to kill the one that attacked my place.
