Status: offline 		I fly with about 4 other guys. We all live on a private runway, and "ON ANY SUNDAY" about 2:00 we all seem to meet at the north end with the odd flying machines we have acquired. It seems that with a day per week of flying, our fuel costs are now noticeable. I was wondering if there is someplace we could get a discount (right now we are paying about $15 per gal. for 15% ) on fuel purchased by the case(s).

I would recommend searching the forums for making your own fuel. I seen people that make a gallon and its around $8/gallon.

Excellent prices and I have never had any problems using thier fuel. They do ship in bulk. My be worth a call or email. Buy in bulk 50 Single gallons. After 3 years in storage each gallon is as fresh as when first one open. I have never used after run oil in any of my engines but simply run the engine with fuel line disconnected until engine quits after day at the field. My oldest engine 6 year OS runs as good as the first day I bought. I have taken apart and noted no rust. All my engines are stored in the house. No temperature and humidity extremes.
