Nitro is made in China and comes over here by the container load. The price can vary depending on who's selling it and whether they just got a big shipment or they're trying to move the last few drums. Freight charges are sometimes the most significant variable.
Given all that, the cheapest we've bought it has been about $800 (including shipping) for a 53 gallon drum.
The most expensive I've heard of was the official NHRA-sanctioned VP nitro that was about $1200 for a 40 gallon drum plus shipping. Edit: I just remembered that there was a nitro shortage a few years ago and the official VP stuff jumped up to something like $2000 for 40 gallons.
I haven't priced it yet for this year.
