(most 4 strokes like 15%+ nitro, you can run a 2 stroke on 5% which is much cheaper than 15% and will last longer)
I apologize for hi jacking the thread Switch.

This brought up a question in my mind...

If you are running a four stroke (ASP .71 Four Stroke engine) with 5% fuel - what would be the disadvantages of this?
i dont have a 70 4 stroke.
yes you can run a 4 stroke on 5% nitro, i have done it, it works ok. however your top end takes a hit as well as your idle.
i run my .91 on 10% because i have plenty of 10% and dont want to go buy 15% and lug two jugs around. it works, the idle isnt as great compared to ys20/20 fuel. and i loose 500 rpm on the top end. however i dont care, i bought a bigger engine so i wouldnt have to worry about fuel.
however most people here, and at my field, run 15+ nitro in 4 strokes.
