Price will probably vary on your location and just how much your LHS wants to charge.
I get Byron Race Gen2 30% for $28 a gallon here...though i have to drive an hour to get it. Better then when i was paying $12 + shipping for a quart of O'donnell Race 30% though.

i use Blue Thunder 20% for $27 per gallon
Unfortunately you're pretty much stuck with what choices your LHS sells unless it's really crazy high. Shipping fuel mandates a haz-mat fee that makes it higher to buy through mail-order. Torco was the cheapest I've seen to order but you have to buy a case(4gal) at a time to get it down to around $30 a gallon.
I'm a poor boy so I go to my lhs and get what ever is the cheapest they have and tune accordingly. Currently it's Blue Thunder 20% race blend $22. A lot of people rag on Blue Thunder,maybe it's the sport blend,but it's working well for me.

I almost got Blue Thunder Race when i last went and got fuel...but it was almost $15 more then the Byron's. I'm really liking the Byron's though so ill stick with it until i can't get it anymore.

If you have to mail order... i really like O'donnell fuel. Have used both Racing blend and RTR blend. Both are pretty similar priced. If i remember correctly.. the Racing blend has about 12% oil content, while the RTR has 18%.
You'll pay about $40-45 for 4 quarts (1 gallon) since you can't buy 1 single gallon jug, from Tower atleast.
