Oil availability going forward

[Bruh1]

Hi all, I'm curious if anyone else has noticed this; or if it's just my imagination?
Costco only has a few Kirkland oil options in stock on their website, and in store the other evening they had very little M1 or Kirkland. Walmarts near me also seem hit or miss with stock. My local AA only has 6 cases TOTAL on their oil wall.

I was in Home Depot buying some drywall yesterday and saw several oils in stock that Walmart was out of, at around $5 more per jug than Walmart. I'm honestly thinking of going there and buying a "backup jug".

It will be available as you long as you are willing to pay for it.

Price, Quality, Delivery.

If you pay enough, you will always find it.

Here is an ECONOMIC joke to illuminate that exact point from a website called Econolog;

An Economic Insight on an Old Joke​

By:
David Henderson

Supply curves slope up.

Here’s the joke:
Man to woman: Would you sleep with me for one million dollars?
Woman: Sure.
Man: How about for ten dollars?
Woman: What do you think I am?
Man: We’ve already established what you are. All we’re doing is bargaining about price.

If the economy continues to deteriorate and barter is necessary looks like you have plenty of good wampam.

If I had a worry it would be the availability of Gasoline and Diesel.

We'll run out of gas or diesel before motor oil. Worst case we'll have to chuck syn blend into our sumps but thats not a big deal.

Agreed. We're on track to make Venezuela look like a Sunday school picknic IMO.

Things are going to be sub par for awhile. Folks are just going to have to learn to be cool with it.

Oil hoarders when we start running out of fuel and food

Why? You could go do the same thing right now, today, if you wanted to? To each his own...

You don't need that anymore. We are going electric.

We won't run out of oil , it's just whether or not we choose to get it out.

I think it's just the ~75200 BITOG members buying it all up lately since the Supertech pricing threads..

Just like people that were hoarding hand sanitizer ..and paper produces during the shortage..... Just purchase what you need....not what you have in the picture....I agree to each his own...for me that is wrong...

I had never bought hand sanitizer in my life until the pandemic hit. We bought 2 bottles and I think in 2 years we have maybe used a quarter of one of the bottles.

Same, I scooped up all of the RGT in the Houston area I could find a while back. I have enough for 150K miles at 5K OCIs.

I stocked up on a lot of the napa synblend oil. It'll feed the F-350 and Jeep for a while. Maybe an oil change in the Grand Marquis too.

I only change the oil once a year on 3 of our vehicles. The Cherokee gets every other year.
