Two-Year review of the Stihl MS500i

[@appoutfeed]

One thing I managed to overlook was this business about the 500i being a fuel hog; two things. A) Okay, whatever... But whining about fuel use here is like buying a Ferrari and then complaining about the gas mileage. This is a performance machine. If you want power, you have to burn fuel. B) I haven't noticed that the fuel consumption is really that bad. I wonder if it doesn't get a little better as the computer figures things out. This saw really does seem to run better the more it is run over time.

Love mine. Box stock with 25 light bar. I compare it to my older 461 and you are right, the 500i is a Ferrari and the 461 is more of an american muscle car.
