Can any of you who are able to get this stuff at Walmart or other
distributors (or heck...anyone who's bought a single quart from an FBO
lately) give me some prices so I can clarify how good a deal this is?


Last I checked a couple of months ago, the price quoted by the local Shell
distributor for a case of 15W50 was actually a couple of bucks MORE that a
local pilot supply outlet, where, IIRC, I paid $65.00 (plus tax).

In case you are wondering, I also shopped the Internet. Some on-line prices
were a tad lower, but not when you figured in shipping cost.
