Does your local oreillys actually carry all 4 SKUs though? So if you get to the store there might only be 1 or 2 of those choices available.

Pricing strangeness always occurs like this. Just look at the price of Soda in your local supermarket.

it's usually for 1-off small volume items like this. The buyers are price insensitive, picking up 1 quart of mobil1 for $11 because that's what they need; plus the volume of purchases are not high enough to make a difference.

Are they all the same treat rate?

Usually, the blue Stabil, the marine stuff, is the best buy. It treats twice as much gas per ounce so it goes twice as far. I now only purchase the small bottles because it lasts so long at the rate I use it.

They probably move a ton of the 16oz bottles in comparison to the other sizes and can buy it cheaper therefore selling it cheaper.

The small quantity is 8/10 oz at the beginning is the Stabil Storage. The 16/32 oz is Stabil 360 ethanol treatment.

At least by my guess based on pricing.
