Here is a copy/paste from one of our popular local hobby shops. "10% SPORT 18% OIL FUEL 22.95 Power Master" The hobby shop blames the cost on the fact that the fuel is made in the US. So then you have to add shipping costs to bring it up here. Then you have to add, government shaft tax (called GST) and of course customs fees. That all pretty much doubles the price of the gallon of fuel. Lucky us eh?!?[&o]
