Walmart Super Tech - has it been discontinued?

solid question

Marketing, the same reason why people buy name brand Tylenol or Marlboro. Frankly the entire concept is there to separate you from your money.

We all have repeatedly seen why being in the world market is a bad thing. Go back 50 or 60 years to when everything we consumed was produced in this country. We didn't have these problems then...

Remember the OPEC oil embargo 50+ years ago? I'm sure you do.

I wasn’t even alive when this happened yet I was surprised no one else mentioned it.

It's just another excuse to gouge consumers...

I see… market shortages and global supply disruption shouldn’t affect prices?

Perhaps we can just hope for a recession, you know, to help consumers.

I don't recall the '73-'74 one but the '79 issues I do. You could only by gas on odd/even days based on license plate #. My parents had one odd and one even My job daily was to swap plates as needed so dad go and keep them full so he could go to work. Most places had limits on gallons.

We did a trip towing trailer with a '75 Ford LTD. We had 4-5 Five gallon gas cans inside the trailer in case we needed them. Probably not the safest thing. At the highway fuel stops he would get what he could then pulled around to the opposite side and did it again. We brought the other license plates in case we needed them. Memories!
