Default What percentage fuel you guys runnin?

I've been runnin HPI 30% Power Fuel since I got my Savage 25 a couple years ago. Only reason is cause that's what the hobby shop guy sold me when I told him what truck I was running. Just wondering what the differences are in the percentages (fuel economy vs power?) And what % do you run??

Well, I cant help you with your original question since I havent been in the hobby long enough to know the difference. But I'm running Trinity Monster 25% with 12% oil.

O'Donnel and Blue Thunder, both 20% race blend. I think I like the Blue Thunder a little better, but I've also learned more about tuning, so I'm not sure yet....

The ONLY fuel I will ever use is Trinity Platinum Racing 20% with 8% oil. This fuel is almost magical.

I run Monster Trinity 20%. I've gotten 5 gallons through my K4.6 and it still runs like a champ. I like this fuel.

I run 30%, a fuel brand that is amde in Texas called Rocket Science. To me, Rocket Science is up ther with ODonnels and Byrons.

I'm not sure, but I think that 30% is more volatile and evaporates faster. Also, I think it takes more 30% fuel to produce the same output as 20%. I am not sure since I have not actually done any experiments of tests to prove or disprove this.
