  So do we want 'em to mix by VOLUME or by WEIGHT ?
  Which means more?  (Better yet, which is BETTER???)

    No, no he's right. NOMe is the densest component of fuel. A volume
measure that
    corresponds to 15% (by Vol), weighs more than 15% (by weight) of the
fuel weight . It's right Bob; think about it

      To further confuse matters, some manufactures (few) mix the fuel by
volume
      (ie 15% nitro means 15% by volume) where other manufactures mix by
weight
      (ie 15% nitro means 15% of the weight is nitro).  Obviously, the ones
that
      mix by volume have more nitro in their 15% fuel than the ones that mix
by
      volume.
