RE: gas usage
I can get 6 tanks out of 1 Liter of fuel x 3.5 (liters in a gallon) and you end up with 21 tanks. I use LRP 25% Nitro Energy Fuel, which is widely available here in Germany. 25% nitro runs great in my Savage X and is a good balance between price and performance. 25% nitro is also the F4.1s favourite blend of fuel. I don't race my X, and it runs great with this fuel.

RE: gas usage
I pay 12 EUROS a liter, which is about $42.00. I'm not sure if it is available in the USA. Another fuel which I have used with success is T2M 25% Rocket Fuel, which is 10 EUROS a liter - $35.00

RE: gas usage
I get around 15 gallons in the tank and it lasts about a week. unleaded is usually best for just running around and goes for $2.20 a gallon here right now.

RE: gas usage
Can you actually run unleaded in a nitro engine? Do you have to mix 2-stroke oil with it? And doesen't it really lower the performance and life of an engine?

RE: gas usage
LOL
You guys are a tad mean. I get about 15 minutes depending on what im doing. Some pipes make the truck more efiicient. You can also just not touch the throttle as much to make it use less fuel. But when i use gas i get about no minutes of runtime.
