Default RE: Odd Fuel Pricing??

Powermaster is $15.00, the WC 20/20 was $20.00 and I found it odd that they had the WC 15% on sale for the same price as there 20/20. Last year on the 4th of July sale they had the 15% for $13.00. Because of there come on tatics there are only a few items I ever buy at HP. They have the best deal in town on there packs of 4-40 control rod and when it's on sale I also buy there bulk servo wire. If I'm in the middle of a build and need a piece of wood or two I go there for it. Nice Twice and Hobby Town don't have a very good selection of wood. HT has the best selection of paint and dope. I have a list of items I require on my present build so as I get closer to the point I start to assemble I will take my list and do a road trip to all three hobby shops.
I only found it odd that they would price there WC 15% the same as there 20/20. Sale is over so we have time before the next one and I will finish stocking up for the summer. I try to keep as much fuel as I can on hand and only buy when it's on sale. Fuel prices have moved a lot of the guys over to gas. My new plane is a gasser and the next one is also a gasser. I will keep the glow planes I have but as fuel prices keep going up they will be left in the shop a lot more. Who knows, in the future I may be selling a lot of YS engines?
