Synthetic Oil: 55 Gallons $1,280.00 (.18 $/oz) Nitromethane: 53 Gallons, $ $1,751.00 (.258 $/oz) Methanol: 55 Gallons: $210.00 (.03 $/oz) Total investment: $3,200I made a spread sheet to use as a mixing table but the math is grade school stuff. Here's an example with cost breakdown:Total fuel to be mixed: 1 gallon, 128oz, 3,785ml Blend to be mixed: 14% oil, 30% nitro, 56% methanol.Oil: 128 x .14 = 17.92 oz ($3.22) Nitro: 128 x .3 - 38.4 oz ($9.91) Methanol: 128 x .56 = 71.68 oz ($2.13) Total fuel mixed: 128 oz ($15.27)So it works out to be just over $15 a gallon. I found that most people around here are willing to pay $20 or $25 a gallon for fuel. The results of that are that for an investment of $3,200 I can supply fuel to the local area and make enough to pay my own fuel bill. Currently I only sell fuel to people I know well and usually sell it at something close my cost. While I don't make much doing this, I am able to buy ingredient in quantities that no single individual could use. |
