I was at mylhs the other day and talkin about fuel. I said i needed a 30%, and he said the name but i can't remember it. The word " cyborg" come to mind but dont think its that cuz i googled it and nothing camee up. Anyone know of a fuel that might somd like what i described ?
 
Maybe, reason i ask is he said it was 33$ or so for a gallon. I was payin like 50$ for odonnel at a diffrent store. And this is all 30% wetalkin here. Dunno if i was getting ripped off before for odonnel or this other one i came across for 30$ is jusk crappy fuel.
 
50 dollars is pretty expensive for 30% fuel, usually it's around 30$
 
Ya this one store it seems is always waay more expensive but they got every part u need. The other store is cheaper but not always have the parts u need.
 
Wow, you were getting ripped off, big time.
Get only the parts you can't get elsewhere. Don't let them steal your money like that.
 
$50 O' Donnels? Dang. I agree, go with the $30 Byrons. Unfortunately my LHS doesn't carry Byron, even though they are an official dealer. (They have the sticker on their window.) Probably out of stock.
 
ok cool, guess ill try this byrons fuel. Beats the 50$ odonnell.
 
Wow. I pay $26 a gallon for O'Donnell 20%, and $29 a gallon for O'Donnell 30%. $50 is a huge rip off. I would slap that hobby shop owner....
 
Ya the store is waay overpriced and they have a poor attitude. Alot of ppl shop there and i dont understand. I walked in ther on day with my truck and the woman owned says to me" thatz a sh***y pipe, buy one of these". I have the hpi ribbed pipe and i like it. She said I'm robbing myself of power. My bro has the polished hpi on his and dosent seem any better so I'm stayin with what i got. I'm not gona spend the 50$ on a new polished pipe for nothing, looks alittle nicer but who cares, i dont.

i was useing odonnels 30% but ran out of it so
bought some byrons,holly molly what a diffrence
runs cooler,idles bettter,smells better :D
awesome stuff,lot better then odonnels :)
 
Each fuel manufacturer uses its own proprietary blend of additives that differ from its competitors and I find that certain brand fuels dont run right in some of my cars/trucks but Trinity Monster brew runs good in all and smells good too...If my local hobby shop was charging that much for fuel Id brew my own..
