$5.50/lb in town and 1 hr south of me.

Can drive to Kansas city and buy in bulk, 100# tanks for $1/lb. Once I install a nitrous system, will be investing in a refill station and have another little side business filling tanks since the mark up is so ridiculous.

$4.50 /lb here. as far as having a fill station making money in this area it doesn't, unless you do enough volume to justify buying the mother bottles and going to KC

We have 2 racers that use the juice for playing around that bought the refill station for their own personal use, but dont want the headache of driving down to KC for bulk purchases. Even had a kid come out to the track from MN last weekend with the station in the back of his truck and he's talking about coming down for our night street races to cash in.

Closest around here is Cedar Rapids to refill, so with the "tuner" market in high gear becasue of the Fast and Furious movies NOZZ is becoming more standard equipment. If later this year we get a few guys selling it local I may pass on it, but currently the market is wide open. I could go down make a 500-1000# purchase and it should tie the area over for awhile until word got out, and at bulk rate my cost compared to selling price, it'd be well worth the drive
