Oh yeah, Byrons FAI fuel ($9/gallon) + 24 oz tank = $1.69/flight, homemade fuel at $7/gallon + 24 oz tank = $1.31/flight, while on gas ($3/gallon with oil) + 16 oz tank= $0.38/flight. Yeah, it is cheaper to go gas vs. nitro. Eventually.

This is still cheaper than a day on the lake. $50,000 boat, 80 gallons of gas between the truck and the boat, etc. Good times!
