Status: offline 		Mix your own fuel. No hazmat on oil, methanol is usually available locally for about $2.50 a gallon, and nitro - a 5 gallon can goes a long ways.

Status: offline 		Methanol is available anywhere go carts are run, or at a speed shop. Nitro from Speed shops, or you can buy a case of high nitro fuel and mix it down. I've got 6 gallons of 65% fuel left over from my racing days that will make about 35 gallons of 10%. Either way, buying the methanol locally is the key to avoiding Hazmat charges, since it is the bulk of the fuel.
