ive been doing rc cars for years, i got into nitro over a year ago, and when i lived in hawaii was stabbed with 30 dolors a gallon, now i pay about 24 or so on avrage here,

i was shocked reading another thread, someone saying how expensive race fule for our bikes are, he mentioned something like 6 bucks a gallon ?

im sorry but WHAT? what octane is that? how much more can you go ? price and all ?
i truly belive im being ripped off to **** and back now.
its just fule mixed with caster oil and 30% nitromethane on avrage.

i dont see why im paying the price i do,
i dont want to run high octane in my bike when i mod it because of the pain of only being able to use that fule on that bike, but damn, for 6 bucks a gallon thats allmost worth it, because thats cheap for the hp gains from the high compression piston and fule if you ask me.

here in Vegas it is about $4/gal at the pumps (usually unocal 101), $5/gal if you buy a 55 gal drum, & $7/gal for a pail (both VP c12).

what about higher octanes like 110 ?
i know its hard to compare 2 totaly different fules, but i dont see why it has to cost so much. its a honest rip.

I run B-32 race fuel. It has a 118 octane rating, and I get it at the local gas station (special pump) for $4 a gallon.

I can buy some Cam 2 fuel (110 - 114 octane) for $2.50- $3.00 a gallon. I have heard of it as cheap as $2 per gallon. :eek:

c12 is 108. Go with the stuff others have mentioned. I think that VP is one of the more expensive fuels.

I pay $5.50/gal. for vp-c12, 108 octane. I know I'm getting ripped but it's the only local source.

how can you get race gas if NO ONE around you for 60 miles sells it? does anyone ship it? i dont want a 55 drum, but maybe 20-35

I get Unocal 110 for $4.25, but we pay more for gas in general in the socialist republic of California....

timewass do u have any drag strips, or race tracks around u? if u do sometimes u can go there, or ask the guys there. u can even check some of ur local gas stations. but usually the bigger gas stations dont really carry it as often, its more the mom and pop ones that do.
