Ben, I'm sure there are a variety of reasons. Some use low nitro to save money, but some engines run just as well or better on low nitro fuels. I run 30% helicopter fuel in my YS and Saito four strokes, and 10% in my Webra and OS two strokes. I have ran 15% in the two strokes, but did not see a noticeable increase in performance over the 10%.

Coolpower 30% heli fuel costs twice as much as the 10% airplane fuel and my two strokes don't like the 30%. More nitro does not always mean better performance.

In Okinawa Japan 15% nitro (with 18% oil) fuel cost ¥3,750 per gallon. Good thing I'm not stationed there any more ...

I burn Powermaster, My hobby shop desn't carry it nor does any other shop for a hundred miles around {GMA10/22] so I order direct cost for 2 cases delivered[normal freight delivered was $270.00] Wish some shop would carry it but RC people just want cherry soda fuel at $10.00 or less a gallon no matter how badly it ruins a motor.

Here in Chile it's getting cheap: US$13
A few years ago it was almost twice that!!

My LHS only carries Byron 10 and 15%. I order 20 quarts of Red Max 30% nitro, 19% all synth oil, $25 shipped per gallon. My Saitos love the stuff.
