Having 3 local hobby shops closed this weekend left me without fuel and not a happy camper by any means..
I work all day and can only go on saturdays and sundays.. so my options are limited..

however i was thinking of maybe buying 4-5 Gallons Online somewhere and maybe saving myself some money.

Anyone do online fuel ordering?

I tried tower.. but 20Bucks fur a fuel surcharge on top of shippping is rediculous and Makes it almost 33 dollars a gallon for 20%..

Unfortunately, you're going to run into that problem everywhere. The $20 surcharge is a hazmat fee that applies to the fuel in gallons--it's not tower's doing. The only way to get around it is to buy fuel in quarts, and then you lose the economy of buying by the gallon, unless the vendor offers a bulk discount on quarts. You can actually buy in quarts from Tower wihout paying the surcharge, but it's cheaper to just pay the surcharge if you do the math on six gallons worth of quart bottles......frankly, your best bet is to buy several gallons when you can make the trip to the hobby shop and keep it stored till you need it. There is no reason that properly stored fuel(tightly capped, kept away from sunlight) won't keep for several years.

Kinda one of those things... You can deal with the $20 surcharge, buy the quarts or just do without.....

I purchase my top fuel at Tower Hobbies and have never been charged a 20.00 surcharge for the handling of fuel, but I also am a memeber of thier super saver club and maybe that is one of the benefits.

Do you order it by the case, ie 4 gallons at a time???
