topfuel was $27 yesterday for a gallon

today it was $47

i asked why and the owner of the shop claimed that most fuel is brewed in china... and now that half of china is torn apart from earthquakes. thats what its going to be for the next few months!

so.... im glad i got a gallon of fuel last weekend (and no i dont run topfuel, that was jsut the biggest jump i saw)

there was a guy buying some 50% for his boat while i was in there.... $79 for a gallon!

Status: offline 		With all the rising gas prices and this china shut the plants down for the clean air stuff, its getting me thinking of just switching over to electric. Always been a hardcore nitro powered fan, but electric is starting to look better and better with each day.

Status: offline 		i guess i just need to look around befor i get my next gallon... or maybe find a place this is still cheap (right now) before everyone else jacks their price up...

anyone else notice the huge price jump or is it for the most part just me?

Status: offline 		ya i noticed it slowly climbing but this HUGE spike really supprised me... im guessing its cuz i was at a main-stream hobby shop (hobby town)... im going to head downtown to a little mom/pop shop to see what they have for prices... im guessing they're prices will be lower untill they have to re-stock...
