20% ever since I got any of my RC's. Most likely, I'll keep it that way unless God comes down upon me and tells me to try out 30%. [&:]

Im running 30% HPI Power Fuel, but I dont think its that good it seems to have alot of oil like the traxas 20% I ran in my stock 4.1 but since I got the Axial .28 I have only run 30 %. Its hard to find other brands of fuel up here in northren B.C.

I've been running sidewinder 30% since i broke in my force .32 about 5 gals now. The oil content is perfect in my opinion. Plus cant beat the price [8D]

I currently run 30% Rocket Science. I have un 20% Blue Thunder, 20% Wild Cat, 20%, Byrons, and 20% O'donnels.

So far, running the 30% Rocket Science in my STS D30M is quite an experience. I cannot wait until my engine is fully broken in so I can tune for performance and experience the best 30% will provide me from that engine.

Running PowerMaster 20%, but it is the same company that makes Top Fuel, which means high oil content.

So basically I'm switching to Trinity Monster Blend 20% and already have a gallon of it ready to use.

Trinity Monster Brew with 20% nitro and 16% oil. I picked up a gallon of Trinity Monster Horsepower 20% nitro 12% oil, and I'll see how that fares up to the Monster Brew. I'm running a stock Savage X with the Nitro Star F4.1 engine.

I run Byrons Race 25%. It is the closest to 30% I will try. I used to hear a lot of bad things about 30% but that was about 3 years ago, and like I said before, I've been out for a while.

I have always used traxxas top fuel 20% for my savage 25. I heard 20% is kind of a standard for the cars and trucks. I also heard that 30% for example will shorten your engine life some.
