Huh? No way. You can buy Mobil 1 at Walmart for ~$24 for a 5 quart
bottle. Amsoil costs at least $8 a quart *before* adding shipping.

Why ship? Don't you have a local dealer? Speedshop that caters to the guys that
race cages on dirt...boat shops? Etc. Lots of them sell Amsoil their 2-stroke
oil is some damned good stuff.

History does not record anywhere at any time a religion that has any rational
basis. Religion is a crutch for people not strong enough to stand up to the
unknown without help. But, like dandruff, most people do have a religion and
spend time and money on it and seem to derive considerable pleasure from
fiddling with it.

Shipping is not the point. The stuff may also be great, and I do not
contest that. But it most certainly does not cost the same as Mobile 1
as purported by AMooreonline.

Amsoil costs me $4.96 per quart (Amsoil Scooter Oil 10W40) with my 20%
discount membership. S/H isn't that bad either. Also...With Walmart
it's a "hit or miss" scenario in terms of finding the oil you want
everytime. My Walmart is 30 miles away & that's means that costs me
appx. $6.00 in gas to get there! No local Amsoil dealers. So...Online
is fine by me. I get the best oil money can buy IMHO delivered UPS
ground to my front door. I do have a local Auto store that carries
Royal Purple which is another excellent oil. But...I have used Amsoil
for years & I won't use anything else.

You mean everyone else doesn't have the Amsoil salesman come to THEM,
take their order and deliver it?

That's what we do.
