Watching the NHRA drag races this weekend they had a story about nitro costs. This past weekend they had to pay $1800.00 for a 40 gal container of fuel. I'm not sure if this was 90% or 100% nitro. They're expecting $2000 with a few weeks. Assuming that was 100% @ $1800 and you mixed it down to 10% RC fuel that would make it 400 gal jugs with $4.50 worth of nitro in each. Then add the other components, jugging fees, shipping costs and profit. One car owner also said he thought the quality was slipping too.
