Default Nitro Prices up??

Is it my imagination, or has Nitromethane really increased in cost by 50% in recent months?

The local race shop which we source our nitro for homebrew has gone through the roof on it.

Fuelman? You hearing anything?

Man...I'm glad my engines don't use but a sniff of the stuff.

Probably. Look what gasoline costs now. The stuff has to be shipped and it's a hazmat.

It NEVER stops. Gasoline is a good example.
