How many gallons of nitro do you think you have ran thoughout your life. I know it may not be easy to remember all of them, but think about it and make a good guesstimate.lol I believe I probably ran about 7-8 gallons.
 
LOL....I know exactly how many...I kept the caps from them until a few weeks ago...I'm on gal 27 now...and I've only been into nitro stuff for a little more than a year....
 
I'm not a 100% sure but i say about 11 gallons for me, since i was kinda all elec for awhile then I got more nitros again.....and this is in a 1 year period..
 
So far I am on my second gallon of O'donnels. This is my first touring car and I am trying to take it easy on her.
 
I purchased my first R/C in March of last year (I've owned 12 different ones since) :shrug:

I bought 11 gallons last year (used 10 of them)...the last one didn't get opened till this spring...I'm on Gallon #5 this year.


Who says this stuff isn't additicting!!!

Mr T
 
I didn't start going through it like a crack head until recently...the last 11 have been since march.....I've been avg about 3/4 gal a day when I run now.....it's too much fun and a PITA to set up a pit area to run 1/4 gallons.....I only go when I know I have the day to run now....the rest of the time I spend rebuilding what I broke on that day....
 
O god, I have no freaking clue....but I'll guess....let me see, I got 2 gallons thru 3 rebuilds on a 15FE, so thats 6, then i hav prolly 5 on the savage, then half on the xxx-nt and half on the hyper....so probably a little more than 12 gallons.... I really don't get a chance to go out and drive as much lately, and I was into electric for a while as well...
 
6-7 gallons my self



off topic what do you guys pay for nitro,i'm paying 42.99/gallon for 30% sidewinder fuel.(canadian)
 
It's 14 or 15 I'm not sure.

I pay $29.76 for a gallon of 20% Trinity MHP. I'm sure the price will go up soon.
 
I'm in the high 20s or so now i think. i count by runtime on engines I've owned.

vspec 3.5
p5 2.5
528xsp 2.5
15tupaf 1.5
12cvrx 3.0
s25 1.5
fr15 6
fe15 5
sh.21 1.5
 
Hmmmm, kinda hard to estimate how many gallons I have gone through. But I wouldn't put it anywhere less than 11 gallons. I pay $21/gallon for Byrons 30%
 
Fuel is $35 in town. $22 for an hour drive. (not sure about making the drive now) $12 for aircraft.
20% cars, 15% planes.
Burnt 18-20 gallons? In 8 years?
