I was at O'Reilly's yesterday and after reading this thread I think there needs to be a new version of it called "When to Buy Oil". I hadn't bought any oil for a spell and was only looking for some lawn mower lube for a used mower. I was shocked that Valvolene is $4.79 qt. Holy Moly!

Obviously I had better start reading those sales flyers instead of using them for bird cage carpet. With oil at $102 bbl I should not have not been surprised of course but that price for a quart of oil really hit me between the eyes. (I'm starting to sound more and more like my Depression Era parents. Egad!)

Your thoughts?
