Default Price of Nitro at your LHS?

How much do y'all pay for Nitro by you? I switched from Trinity to Traxxas and the price difference is like $10 for 20%! I might switch back because Trinity is still $23 whilst Traxxas is $33 and Trinity 30% is only $30! Outrageous! As gas prices go down, Nitro prices go up! So how much do y'all pay for Nitro and what do you use?

Last time I bought Nitro, I bought Blue Thunder 20% for $21.99. Next time I go to my LHS I'll check.

A gallon bottle of my LHS "concoction" is $15. However, this is somewhere around 5% and I like to use 15-30% in my various motors; depending on season, motor type and motor size. If I remember correctly (all written on the planes and in the transmitter data), I run 20% Cool Power on my Thunder Tiger Pro while I use only 15% on my O.S Dual-Stroke. But, I could be mixing those up. At any given time I have about five gallons of various nitro in use/storage.

I believe the last time we picked up a bottle it was $25 for a gallon of Cool Power at the LHS. But, they're having nitro fuel sales monthly, so it's probably more around $30 when not on sale.

I only buy gallons because when it is not broken, I am running down fuel bottles like no tomorrow, I am almost done with my 3rd gallon in the truck, but it's been sitting for almost a month broken in half because dad never wants to help fix it but he won't let me build it alone(my truck, we already did this once before.)
