Default RE: What type of fuel?

The last sale at Hobby People was $13.00 a jug for 15% Power Master. When I was buying in bulk cases a few years back the price I was getting it at was $13.00 so when it comes up on sale here it usually goes from a low of $13.00 to about $15.00. It is on sale fro about a week during most holidays or three day weekends. Yes, PM does stink but it's the Castor in the blend. My flight clothing right out of the washing machine still smells like castor. Fuel Smell: back in the 50s I was using Thumbledrome {spelling} glow fuel and loved the smell. When I first started flying RC I was using Power Master, that's what we could get so that is what we used. The stink about knocked me over but I got used to it. There are now fuels or addatives for fuel that you can use, just something real wrong about peach or cherry smelling fuel so I will give it a pass and put up with Castor stink. $13.00 a gallon!!!!
