Thats part of the reason. Another great example is after run oil. The hobbyco after run oil is just transmission fluid that you can get for $1 a quart at the Auto parts store. They charge us $2.99 for a few ounces. Anything that is labeled "hobby" use is immediately more expensive because its considered luxury purchase.
