hi people how much dose your fuel cost I'm trying to find out which place has lowest fuel cost mine starts of at 20.00$$ ;);)
 
I pay $45 for a gallon of most 20% fuels. I prefer the Traxxas Top Nitro. Some places have it for $45 a gallon and others sell it by the qt, at $14.99, which is $60 a gallon.

Shop around. I buy from 2 different hobby stores cause one has good prices on some things, while the other has better on others.
 
I am paying a bit over $56 a gallon for my 30% Klotz fuel. I am pretty sure the 20% is only like $2-3 cheaper....so no matter what, you are well over $50 a gallon in Okinawa. Actually, I have not bought in a couple months and I have heard it has even went up more.
 
$35 for O'Donnels 20%, that was about 90 days ago, about time for another trip to the LHS.
 
Yup. I'm at the point where I'm gonna have to purchase more fuel soon... Ugh, I dread walking into the LHS for fuel. Last time I bought fuel, it was $23.99 for a gallon, and that was over a year ago.

If it is expensive at the hobby shop I have 3 un-opened gallons of trinity. I'll hook you up! I buy it by the case so it's around $28 a gallon with tax and shipping.
 
Shoot bro, I might have to take you up on that. I'm gonna need some once my motor comes back from HPI. I think I have just enough to cover the idling tanks.
 
25 a gallon for sidewinder 20%. but because i no longer shop at my LHS, I'm gonna need to find a new supplier
 
I'm going to get the equipment, build and refine my own nitro fuel. It's got to be cheaper in the long run. :hehe:
 
don't think a nitro still is illegal, and it couldn't make your house smell more manly lol
 
year we have different prices for your fuel like 25% is 24$ 20% is 18$ and 15% is 18$:\:\:\
