Notices are rolling in from vendors about major price increases.

Not the usual adjustments, these are the largest we've seen in our career.

Some increases are as high as 25%

That means a $100 item becomes $125

These increases affect parts, supplies, petroleum products, machines, attachments...everything to some extent.

This isn't normal. If you've been on the fence, now is the time to act before the increases take hold.

We will keep you updated as this continues to develop.

HUDSON VALLEY ALERT: E15 FUEL IS ROLLING OUT
Starting May 1, 2026, a nationwide EPA waiver allows gas stations to sell fuel with **15% ethanol (E15)**

THE PROBLEM:
Most SMALL gasoline engines (practically 100%) are only designed to run on 10% ethanol (E10) or less.

Using 15% ethanol blends (E15) or higher,
can lead to:
• Engine damage
• Reduced performance
• Voided warranties

Translation: DO NOT USE E15 IN YOUR SMALL ENGINE.

WHAT YOU SHOULD DO:
Stick with **ethanol-free fuel** whenever possible.
Locally, Stewart’s Shops Premium typically offers an ethanol-free option suitable for small engines.

Make sure you share with friends who might be impacted

We’ll keep monitoring how this rollout affects availability in the Hudson Valley and continue to provide helpful information. As always, consult your engine manual for official guidance from your engine manufacturer.
