Fuel Weights?

[Atwood, Mark]

The DZ is a killer...I'm running 30% Nitro Low Viscosity PowerMaster Fuel ($14/gal if bought as part of our bulk fuel buy) but it's SUCKING down 2oz/minute.  It's the burn rate that's killing me...

-Mark
PS I never questioned the weight of nitro until hauling cases of fuel for Powermaster at the Toledo show.  Trust me...unload a skid of 50% racing fuel (6gal cases) vs. FAI fuel and your back knows the difference.  VERY noticable.

With the current price of gasoline it costs about $2.25/gal to fly a gas
engine
with full sythetic oil.  Most gas engines will last 1000 years (in YS years,
kinda
like dog years) on plain old Wal Mart oil if that's what you want to do.

The guys running theYS DZ are paying what,
roughly $18/gal for low viscosity, high nitro fuel?  What is the cost per
gallon after you pay shipping, hazmat fees etc?
