The only shop where I live..In eugene oregon..Sells nitrous for 6.50 a pound. Does this seem high? And what do other people pay? 65 to fill a bottle is sort of expensive.

 

$3-$5 seems to be the average.

 

IT seems a bit high. Should be about 40.00 a bottle. Must be from all those U of O hippies hogging all the n20 supply.

 

haha ya I bet they are. I'm at uo right now and have to agree i see my fair share lol. But there is only one place that carries nitrous in this town. Maybe thats why...monopoly or whatever.

 

I was at UO in 1994 & 1995. Lots of dirty hippies living on 13th street. couldn't go 5 feet without them asking you for change.

any ways you checked Corvalis, maybe something cheaper up there, but it might not be worth the drive unless you had two or more bottles.

 

3.50 a lb in houston.

 

I would totally drive to corvallis to get it. And haha it's nothing like that anymore. The school seems to be mostly college age people. I see a hippie once in a greaaat while. I think that it's changed quite a bit since you've been here. Then again I'm 21 and mostly stay on campus so 99.9 percent of the people are my age. and non-treehugger.

On a side note I never thought of corvallis. It's less than half the size of eugene so if they had nitrous I'd be surprised but I'm going to check because it's only 40 minutes away. Thanks

And I'm jealous of your 3.50 a pound lol

 

I wonder how hard it is to be a nitrous supplier... sounds like a market opportunity, if there are enough buyers.

 

Thats VERY expensive

around $4 or slightly less in my neck of the woods

 

It is 3 bucks everwhere here, some places even have cash no tax deals. Theres a new shop in tampa that has it for 2.75lb Murrays.

 

do what I did!

call your local gas supplier (they usually sell welding gases, oxygen, etc.) get home delivery of the BIG nitrous bottles. then, order up a -6AN line and fittings to connect your little bottle to the BIG bottle.
freeze your bottle in your freezer and once frozen, procede to connect the 2 bottles and fill the little bottle.

this is an cheap nitrous filling station! the bitg bottle is about 60 pounds of nitrous and you can probably 52-53 pounds of that bottle.

I was paying less than $2 per pound and I could fill my own bottles. I would call up when I needed more and a big truck would bring a nice big cylinder of nitrous to my house! can't beat that!!!!

 

It was $3/lb, but recently went up to $3.75/lb here. There are only 2 shops around here who can supply nitrous so they can pretty much control the market around here if they wanted to.

Also, the drag strip that I go to has Sunoco sponsored test/tune days where they give a free bottle of nitrous and it's $15 to race. I try to make those, so I can race and get a free bottle of juice.

 

$4.16 here

I remember filling up in '99 for $1.75 a pound, i miss those days.

 

4$ a lb. over here

 

$4.60 per pound here. Ouch.
