Airplanes run at about 15-20,000 rpm's and are engines run at 28-50,000 rpm's. Airplane fuel has 8-10% oil content (Or at least it used to. It has been awhile since I messed around with R/C planes.) and most good truck fuel has 18%. I am not saying that you can't use it but is it better to use the right stuff???
you are absouluetly wrong, The car fuels have less oil then airplane fuel. And no I get about 6-7 gallons out of my engines running the one and only sig champion. and sig champion has 18% oil, half synthetic and half castor. and ive never seen any car fuel that has 18% oil in it. I pay 11 bucks for 20% nitro lol. You my freind are just another victm to the car fuel marketing scheme. Many brewers simply change the color of thier fuel and put a label that says car blend and sell it for more. Thier is no secret ingredient in car fuel.
