what is "hurt to much" and how far to ship?
Most oil by the case in the local area is about $30 and the wholesalers
Can't buy it locally? I just picked up two cases of Mineral Oil for $64 with
tax.

I know the local Municipal "fuel desk" sells it for $6 per quart (robbery)

Any discount you would get from buying online would be eaten up with
shipping costs. You are better off finding a local oil distributer and
dealing with them. Hrer in Indianapolis we deal with Hoosier Penn Oil.
If you buy a couple cases at a time they even deliver. I tape a check to
the door adn when I get home my Aero Shell 15W50 is waiting to greet
me!!! :-)

How much oil do you use? Why don't you just buy it from the FBO
and help them out. You want to keep them around don't you?

My Airport is somewhat remote, the nearest FBO being a 70 Mile Flight, Which
I don't mind but sometimes it would be nice to just let Mr Brown truck bring
it by, especially when the plane is down for annual or weather is below mins

I help my FBO out plenty.... Why should I pay their 6 bucks a quart
wuhen I can get it for 3 something. I **** enough money away on our
plane so I don't fee bad at all about getting my own oil. Especially if
all I have to do is write a check and they bring it to me. Besides my
FBO does all the maintenance and the annual on our Mooney.

I even get my oil filters from Aircraft Spruce.. At oil change time I
put 8 quarts and a new filter in the plane and my A & P at the FBO
changes the oil (for $90 in labor) so believe me they make enough...

I buy Exxon Elite oil from www.eliteetc.com Periodically they run a special
where you get a $25 Exxon cash card with each two cases purchased and
shipping is included. I have also bought oil from
http://store.yahoo.com/oilstore/ which also has very good prices.

I purchased a case of oil today. I was shocked that at a distributor, the
price of a case Aeroshell 15-50 has jumped to about $70, which is $20 higher
than I remember. So, it's $6 a quart at the distributor. What a freakin'
nightmare.

Wow. It's still a bit more than $44 (plus shipping) at The Oil Store.
