RE: Home-brewing fuel
You don't make your own fuel because its that much cheaper. I can buy 20/20 for about $20 a gallon. I can make it for about $13.00 a gallon. A small savings but the savings would not be sufficient to convince me to make fuel. Its convenience. I need a gallon of fuel to fly this weekend, I go into my garage and make up a gallon in about 10 minutes. The nearest LHS is 35-45 mins and may not even have the fuel when I get there.
Also, I cannot buy any fuel for $13.76 tax included...not even 5% Nitro. If your have 2 LHS's with 15mins, I would say buy.
