RE: Where is inexpensive fuel?
I am running 20% but I am racing. On another forum someone said I could get O'Donnel's at Sheldons Hobbies for $27.99
I was wondering, does anyone mail order their fuel? I see boxes of 4 gallons on amainhobbies.

HAZMAT costs to much to make gallons real by being shipped....................Start calling shops down in the lower bay area or even over in the Hayward area because of the track there it might be a better price [&o]

You can easily brew your own fuel all you have to do is find a motor cycle and race shop that carries the ingredients, heres' the recepie:

You will probably end up making 5-6 gallons with this, so if you have a few local racers, divide up the cost and race together.

I ended up buying a gallon of O'Donnell 30% at Sheldon's for $29.99. I wonder why the 20% was $32.

supply vs demand
i never pay more than $35 a gallon for 25% and that's including taxxes (don't forget i'm in an IGLOO in Canada)
