[NSRCA-discussion] Going Electric - Battery Questions

So I can just splash a little Cool Power on after my shower/shave?  At $30/gal, it is a lot less expensive the aftershave I use now....

I get about 4% difference.
9.4 - 6.7 = 2.7
2.7 * 0.1 = 0.27
0.27 / 6.7 = 0.04 (4%)
For 20 fl. oz, that's about 0.7 oz more weight for a 10% increase in nitro (0.27 
lb/gal * 20 fl. oz / 128 fl. oz/gal * 16 oz/lb).
