Default RE: Fuel Prices Now!!!!!

Guys who fly gas engine always told me how much cheaper it was,and I never thought much of it. But now that I'm all about converting gas engines(weed wackers and chainsaws etc.),I'ver realized just how right they are. The engines are dirt cheap,and so is the gas! Its hard to realize how much money you waste in $20 a gallon nitro until you dont have to buy it anymore.

Estimate how many gallons you go through each year and multiply that times about $20. For some,thats alot of money. Now if you figure that times about $3 a gallon of regular gas........heck,some guys can have an extra plane or two a year!

And if your converting like me,and used to spend up to 400 bucks per engine and now spend less then 200 for a bigger engine........thats even more money to buy more stuff.

Buying Nitro fuel is for the birds anymore. I'll still always have it for some stuff,but REALLY try to stay away from it now.
