How much fuel do you get through?

[exiged]

Im currently spending £100-150 a month on nitro.Its crept up on me to be honest and i tried to ignore it,but i feel better getting it out in the open now

Not sure if i can carry on whacking that much on fuel,but i just love nitro a little too much!.

so make me feel better,how much are YOU spending on fuel???

Electric boys as you were

[Nick B]

Mate,dont worry about it,you cant take it with you when your 6ft under...just enjoy yourself!

Or go electric lol

[squeaky pete]

at one stage i was going thru 3crates a month, my last fuel order was 200quid so dont beat yourself up lol

[Ross Northcott]

I bought 12 gallons last time and then decided to go mostly electric doh, i still have 8 left six months later.

i fly trex 700s try only to do 1 gallon a wekend or 2 gallons a week max

used to go for 8 hours a day 2 gallons a day now i limit myself to 2 to 3 hours session cos of fuel and ime crap cos i wont push my self any harder


packed up smoking and regular drinking so £23 a week on fuel aint so bad

[Cagey]

Yeah, like Bladestriker says, there ain't no pockets on a shroud ! As long as you aren't drinking the stuff, it's bangs for bucks innit ?

A gallon in an afternoon easily if I'm mainly flying a .90 and I am spoiled to the way the bigger helis
fly. So I started to split my flying between the Trex500 and a nitro heli and then I can fly all afternoon
and still have fuel leftover. I usually spend between £6.20 and £10.00 just on the train to get
to the field so I wasn't as bothered about the fuel costs when I was mainly flying .50s.

But yeah, ya gotta live while you're alive ! So a while back I decided I'd rather pay for
the fuel and have the buzz factor.

[aww]

20 ltr a year for my 600n and 700n if I'm lucky

+1 there are lots of ways to spend money and at 20-25 a gallon of fuel gives a lot more fun and accomplishment than some.

Generally I normally use about 30-40 bottles a year, but this year not so much as been flying a lot of electric, and last weekend I went all electric, so none now I may be back on the smelly oily nitro side at some point tho, never say never!

i try to keep it to 12 litres a month (3 x rapicon), else the missus starts to give me the look
