Is U4 made from crude oil?

I bought a 5 gal at Summit Point this weekend, was $45.  That's pretty reasonable, and less than I paid last year.  Thanks, Denise.

There was someone selling at VIR last week for $45.
You always have scabbs trying to under sell someone else.Do they offer contengency no, do they attend all of the series, doubt it.There is a lot more involve in what it takes to do all this. I hate scabbs >:(

Why does that make you a scab. I think it is called competition. I was selling it at VIR at the Cycle Jam for $45, I think about $3 less than the others, because I am not a contingency dealer and I purchased 2 pallets at the old price.

nope..that was a WERA event i think..  i could not seel at that price..we do not make very much... and the little we do make off of it is for the time i put in getting it there going to pick it up..talking to everyone..and being the last one to leave so i can get the results and go through every race to see if anyone that got fuel form me placed in a paying spot...it takes alot of time sometimes... and plus i will do anything i can to help everyone out...ask anyone that buys from me... so if someone else is selling it cheaper that is up to them.. but it is not the same thing not to mention you are not going to get paid...lol

Al, first I did not know that was you, or I would have come talked with you.When Terrance became a VP dealer, he called both Cindy and I reguarding selling price.When we have customers coming up to the 3 of us, asking why we are selling for $2.50 more than you, it makes us look bad.I travel 400miles to Barnett GA to get my fuel,then take it to the track and deliver it.I also picked up 30 empty cans after Cycle Jam.I did not hear them calling your name to come pick the litter up.So I would just try to make a suggestion that you sell at the same prices as the rest of us.I understand your thinking, and I did the same when I first started selling fuel.

The $45 price was from the official distributor.  They had  the full truck full of fuel, stickers, etc.  100% legitimate.

One of the guys mentioned it to me about the price and said you guys were going to come and talk to me , but nobody did. I set my price not knowing what you sold it for considering suggested retail under the old price was $47.90 a can. I agree there is very little profit in selling it, almost not worth it. I think I sold 6 cans all weekend at a large event like that.Why should someone bitch about paying $2.50 more a can with the advantage that they can earn contingency.
