Precision Fuel PF 90 Gel 74
Three servings of Precision's own PF 30 Gel welded into one resealable pouch, the same 2:1 blend and the same seven ingredients, at 36% less per gram (6.6 cents vs 10.4 cents) than buying it in 30 g sachets.

Verdict
what it does · what it costsWhat it does well
- 90 g of carbohydrate in a single pouch; only Precision's own 300 g PF 300 Flow Gel carries more in one package.
- Identical seven-ingredient formula to PF 30, just packaged with less wrapper per gram.
- Resealable cap lets you meter the dose across a ride instead of committing to a full sachet at once.
What it costs you
- 2:1 glucose to fructose is the same older-generation ratio as PF 30, behind the 1:0.8-class blends on sustainable intake rate.
- 0 mg of sodium, declared on the label rather than just undeclared, so it contributes nothing to your electrolyte plan.
- 36 g of sugar in one pouch is a lot to take in a single squeeze if you don't dose it in stages.
Where to buy
Prices and links as last checked. The price next to the name above is per unit at the cheapest box size we track; a single-unit price below may run higher.
Who this is for
the numbers, appliedThe field tells you what it is. This is who should act on it.
Worth the money if
- You already use PF 30 Gel and want fewer wrappers to open and carry on long efforts.
- You want to pre-load carbohydrate for a long stretch and meter it yourself rather than count individual sachets.
Look elsewhere if
- You need declared sodium from the gel itself rather than a separate source.
- You're targeting a higher intake ceiling than a 2:1 ratio supports and want SiS Beta Fuel's or Maurten's blend instead.
