Local stores are easiest, but you can order it online if no hobby shops are in your area.  Chain stores like Hobby Town are fine, but I think you can get better deals from individually owned stores.  At least where I'm at, the Hobby Town's fuel prices are always more than what I pay at my usual shop.

I bought the tower hobby brand and it works pretty good. I dont use it for racing just for fun. My local hobby show wanted 20.00 for theirs. Got it at tower hobby for about 11.00 including shipping and a glow plug. I've been looking at their store brand stuff for upgrades. Bought their 2.4 ghz radio for around 80 bucks. I'm not going to shell out alot of money just yet so store brands work for me.

For how much fuel?  I'm guessing one quart?  Seems to me like quarts are too expensive.  4 quarts is a gallon, so $8-$12 each is a crappy deal when one gallon jugs can often be gotten for $25-$30.

Don't disagree, but when the local hobby shop has it for 20 bucks, paying 11 bucks isn't too bad. When the nearest fairly well stocked hobby shop is about 150 miles away, its just not that cost effective. Buy a 1 gallon bottle online and the 25 bucks you paid for it will probably be atleast half of that in freight charges.
