Here in the Milwaukee area at least, at Walmart they are the same price as the non HM products. For example, M1 5W-30 and 5W-30 HM are both $25.47 for 5 quarts.
Hmmm ... the M1 HM does appear to be the same price here as well, as is PP HM. All the conventional HM oils are more expensive though ... not sure what the difference is.
