I wonder if the higher price is on the newer shipment of oil that is probaly from Shell after the Texaco seperation. The Shell that I have seen at Wal-mart which is still 12.96gal is still the old Equilon version. Shell is now combined with Pennzoil/Quaker State. There is no more Eguilon.
Greetings,
I bought two gallons at my Wal Mart at the $12.84/gallon price. The shelf label said it was previously $18.xx/gallon (rollback). One caviat, the stuff I bought was CH4 rated stock. OK for my Jeep but not for the latest HiTech diesels.
