Default oils ain't oils?

Yer, saw it and noted it at the time of initial reading. That's a good local price for methanol you're getting, and a stunner for castor. As mentioned previously, both of the surviving LHS are only flogging (the term most apt) pre-blended fuel. Last enquiry I made for supply of castor or methanol from either LHS was met with 'sincere' disinterest.

An hours drive away on the other side of the river, I can pick up methanol (BYO 20 litre drum) for $29-. Local club source is of course another abeit less convenient if favourably economic alternative. Not enamoured with quality control of the exchange drum 'system' though. I have a preferable source of methanol, but availability of supply is more erratic. Club sourced nitro is priced slightly better locally. Haven't bothered chasing down an alternative castor to castrol M, as I use a predominently synthetic brew these days and have enough Castrol M and Lion castor left to do me for quite some time at my current 3% volumetric mix.
