Count yourself lucky! In Canada, it's over $2 a LITRE!

Sure am glad I opted for the hybrid version of the RAV4 last year. Cumulative average over the last 5 tanks is > 47MPG.

That's still $10 less than the current discounted price at AC Supply. MSRP is now $79.99!

Added: for what it's worth AC Supply has 25-packs of Q-Jet A3-4FJs. Those are $63.70.

I remember paying $4 each for F100s and $6 for 80 n-sec CD F45s.
That's what they STILL should be. I don't pay $4 for ANY BP 18mm runt motors.
Last time I bought any 18mm BP SU motors was 18paks of C5-3 through AC Supply for $7.49 a pak 2 years ago, and I thought THAT was too high.
$0.25 per n-sec is ABSURDLY HIGH.

Estes must have the opinion that there is an inelastic demand for their products, specifically, their rocket engines. There is inflation too...

I still remember never paying more than a buck for a 3-pack of 18mm motors, and $2 for a 3-pack of D13 motors (no extra charge for the big bang the D13's frequently exhibited )
Heck, at the end of my 'original' rocketry days, the most expensive things in the Estes catalog were the Cineroc and Transroc - both $20.
Of course, I was making $1.50 an hour working at a car dealership back then too...

They better give up on this price strategy real quick as repeat customers won't tolerate it.
They are NOT Titleist golf balls.
That's the only company I'm aware of that has ever gotten away with it for any significant amount of time.

I remember when $6000 buys a very well equipped new car...
