VP Racing M1 Meth Cost

scottro · 02-22-2012, 02:07 PM

Hi guys,

A local shop will sell me the VP Racing M1 for $7.50 / gallon. I've searched some other posts and people seem to be getting it for much cheaper. But I also looked at some online websites that sell it, and the cost of shipping alone was more than the price of the product. (I'm assuming b/c of weight)

So, are they screwing me? Or possibly just passing the shipping charges onto me (which is understandable).

7.50/gallon is on the high side. I get meth locally from ERC racing fuels for $3/gallon. But most really only end up using 1 gallon per week so spending an extra $12/month to get 100+octane and cooling effects isn't bad

Hrmm okay.. That's less than half so maybe I'll continue searching.

I was about to call you guys to see what the lead time on your meth kits are. Do you happen to know off hand?

To be honest, I don't know. I think we sold several in the last 24hrs so we may or may not have stock right now. Best to call us and talk to Robert or Garret. Or email them sales@vishnutuning.com

Buy a couple 55gallon drums

Team up with your local shop so that shipping is less expensive.

I have been paying around $39 for a 5 gallon can of M1.
Are people really only paying a couple bucks a gallons for VP racing M1 ??

Because it's not 100% meth and is more expensive.

But if you use 100% meth, you pump will mostly gone bad faster...

BrianMN · 02-22-2012, 03:52 PM

FWIW, you can buy 55gallon drums for ~$160... What kills you is shipping; so like I said, team up with a local shop and get an order of 10 or more barrels and it'll be cost effective
