Today i went to a family owned rc shop asked if they had 20% they said no so all they had was 30 % so i got it and i looks at the price and it said $22 then i got another 15% off that price :whhooo:. At my hobbytownusa their 30% is around 30-35$ at times. This makes me wonder what other people pay?
 
Thats about right

I used to pay around 22 bucks a gallon for Byrons 20% about 10 years ago. I currently pay 28 for a gallon of top fuel 20%.
 
I forgot to mention my 'other' lhs has O'donnell 20%.....for 43 bucks!! Needless to say I only go there when it's 4pm on sunday and sunday is my only day off that week.
 
$22 a gallon for Odonnells 20% in N. Texas, Traxxas 20% about $29. I think the pricing is greatly affected by the fact that nitro is shipped as ahazaedous material (more $$$) and also the quanity the LHS orders at any given time(more quantity = less shipping in most cases)
 
I pay about $60-65 a gallon for Klotz, Racing Art and Cosmo. There are none of the brands you are used to seeing in the states. I really miss Byrons. A year and a half and I get normal fuel again. I am just wondering what is going to be available in Korea when I get there or if I am going to have to stick to brushless while I am there? Heck fuel is so expensive here in Okinawa that I might have to shelve my nitros for now.
 
In North Jersey, $30 for 20% Odonnell and $42 for gallon of Traxxas 20% went with the first!
 
A gallon is about 50-60$ in my country, which is part of the reason I switched to brushless.
