Status: offline 		I'm very new to R/C's and I was wondering what the advantages are to mixing your own fuel. From what I have read so far, there are economical advantages. Aside from that, what else? Also, how much money would I save from let's say buying a 15% nitro 18%(20/80)oil compared to making my own.

Its probably much easier and convienent for fyou to pick up fuel at a local hobby shop. You don't have to worry about buying chemicals, storing them, or making the wrong guesses when a company has already done all that for you. you also have the haz issues in storage, handeling and obtaining the chemicals.
Welcome to the hobby.

Status: offline 		Maybe things are different in America but if there's a supplier of methanol etc close enough to you then there's no real difference between going to your LHS or a fuel supplier. Either way you're out buying fuel. Storage is a non existent problem too, if you buy ready made you have to keep it somewhere. Why not in the garage alongside your car that's got a far more flammable fuel in the tank?
