If yoy are burning enough fuel in a model airplane engine for the cost of fuel to be a consideration, then you have way more time to fly than I do. I'd go with the 2 strokes just for simplicity
Fuel cost me about 15 bucks a gallon and the cost is effecting how often I fly these days. I burn almost a gallon on any day I fly. With gas I use about 1/2 gallon or so and it only costs me about 3 bucks a jug. I would only be flying gas if fuel was costing me any more. I'm on a fixed income, prices of things effect me, I had to give up shooting due to cost.
Grey Beard,
I really meant for my comment to be tongue-in-cheek. Please don't think I was being pompous. I'm not at the point in life where I can enjoy retirement, and I am lucky to average 1/2 a day of flying every couple of weeks. So I guess we have touched on something, it depends on your flying habits. Sorry you had to give up shooting. I feel your pain. I started reloading about a year ago and that helps, if only I could get primers at reasonable prices... [sm=angry_smile.gif]
Sorry for the derail, back to 4-strokes...
