Well if you are raising prices anyways, why not pad your own pocketbook by a couple points - isn't that what capitalism is all about...

Still got great prices at Wally World on PZ, Castrol, Valvoline, M1, yatta, yatta, yatta. So, let Amsoil raise their prices all they want. If it were easily available, I still doubt I'd buy any. Readily available oils are so good, it's hard to imagine the need for it.

It sure is, and higher costs are always a perfect excuse to add a bit to the bottom line.

Yep - my thoughts exactly. The prices went up just after the first of the year, at the same time they offered the new shipping promotion. For orders under $100, it looks like they dropped the flat rate shipping fee to $8.99.

Just like in the past, there will be sales from time to time and one can stock up accordingly. Amsoil may have raised their prices, but they also came out with free shipping for PC members on all orders over $100. That is not time limited either. I always had free shipping with Schaeffer and it is about time Amsoil got off the pot.
