Tonight I was in a local Kragen buying a case of Chevron Supreme 10W-30 (which, with the rebate, came out at $0.69 per quart!).
The dude working the register said something about he was glad I was buying this oil, as it was good for the environment - since it was recycled.
"Yeah," I stammered. "I hear that this is a really good oil, even not considering the dirt-cheap price."
"Oh, yeah, it's fine," he replied. "All that oil that people bring back after it's used? It's just dirty. They clean it up and that's what this is. Nothing wrong with it at all."
Not being in the mood to get into an argument, I simply paid up and left. However....
This is a new one on me. Based on what I've read here, I'm almost completely certain that this guy was full of it. But...is there ANYTHING to what he was saying? I'm torn between trying to give the guy some credit and wondering just how gullible I am this evening....
