I'm still relatively new to the Nitro fuel and was just wondering if I'm paying too much or is it pretty much the standard price?

Wisconsin Nitro

well I pay $25 here so i think its a bit much...

deppends on were you live really with supply and demand

samguan

$25 is really cheap..

SAVAGEJIM

Yeah, Im paying probably about $25 per gallon too. I used to pay about $21.50 (that is like $19.99 including the tax).

I am not sure why you guys in Canada are paying more, your dollar is actually worth more now.

Normal Price for around the GTA ......30% was $50 most of the summer[:@]

samguan

sorry for this newbie question, does 30% make the car faster or better performance??

Sugafree

Theres a little Improvement in Performance...........but I find 30% is Easier to Tune and my Engines Run much Cooler......

My last gallon of 33% was $52 here in British Columbia. Anyone want to mail me about 50 gallons from the states?

IloveMYxt2

Im paying 29 dollars for 25% Werks

I would ride once a month if it was 50 bucks. []

elf232

I use 20% in my 4.6, it might not have quite the same performance but since i only bash, it saves me 10 bucks a gallon.

I pay 19 bucks a gallon for 20% here in MD. But 30% is 28 bucks locally.

That was true last year at this time, but over the past month, our dollar has gone for a dump! $1CAN=$.778US as of today.

Also, another newbie question, why some fuel I see are red and some are blue.. I'm using blue right now.... is it just some color that they put in to look good??

binaryterror

Manufacturers tint their fuels different colors so you can see it.

Blue Thunder and Traxxas as blue. Sidewinder is pink. Byrons Gen 2 is orange/pink. O'Donnell is clear.

Just be sure when you are swapping fuels you take the time to tune it. They might tune slightly different based on the actual ingredients.

Right now I use exclusively Sidewinder, for 1 reason originally, price. Then I found it to be the best tuning and performing fuel in my OS engines. 30% here is now at $31.

I just payed $30 for blue thunder race 30% here in md. $19 sounds like a crazy price. What type of fuel are you comparing? Same brand 20% and 30% cause that sounds like alot. The blue thunder 20% is usually only like $3 cheaper where I go. For $19 I would like to know where in md as I may travel when I get my small block together to get a supply.

$32-$35 a gallon for Byron's GEN 2 30% at the Hobby Town I go to.

calvino

$20-25 for sidewinder 20% race blend (depends if i get the 10% discount). Here fuel hasn't been that bad, but when the fuel crisis hit in China, prices jumped $10!!!

Hey revomad I live in palmerston.....Any good bashing places around elmira? Any hobby shops that way? Not much up here in Palmerston[] Anyways a few inch's of snow today to play in....

victorhw

LoL the price of the gallon here is 120 dollars in brasil.

davido666

Because of the higher price of nitro I bought a 1/5 gasser. Alot cheaper to fuel it up.

tiemac

Just Paid 44.00 for O'Donells 30% here in Salt Lake City, Utah HOLY SH*T hehehe

Art91

Last time I bought fuel I paid 34$ for a gallon of 20% O'Donells, and that was back in May.

ThunderbirdJunkie paid $49.99 for his last gallon of O'donnell 30% Race at the local Hobbytown.

He does believe that this is the last time he's going to buy fuel from these gouging fools.

Thanks for the heads up, guys.

olkleaf

the price of nitro has gone up. it seems that the hobby shops near me are really getting hit hard by the economy criss. the hobby town i used to go to closes its doors during the summer and the other local hobby shop has raise its prises by a lot. here in VA i used to pay $20 for 20% and $30 for 30%. Now i have to pay $30 for 20%. i used to be able to buy a gallon of 30% for that price.
