I haven’t run my new 592XP nor the new 372XP either but I saw this tonight on a chainsaw site saying the 592 was designed to run on alkylate fuel and I e never heard of it before. Here’s the copy and paste of what was said-

The Husqvarna 592 XP is designed to run on premixed alkylate fuel, which contains fewer harmful chemicals than regular gasoline and helps keep the engine components clean over time.

I’ll have to check the manual to see what fuel I’m supposed to run in it. I usually use 91 octane non oxygenated gas at about 45:1 mix with good quality two stroke oil. Both saws will probably be ported soon like most of my other pro saws are.
 
From the manual. Premium non-ethanol gas is fine.

Premixed fuel• Use Husqvarna premixed alkylate fuel for best performance and extension of the engine life. This fuel contains less harmful chemicals compared to regular fuel, which decreases harmful exhaust fumes. The quantity of remains after combustion is lower with this fuel, which keeps the components of the engine more clean. To mix fuel Gasoline• Use good quality unleaded gasoline with a maximum of 10% ethanol contents.
