I took the day off yesterday and went to see my mom in Cincy and took her out to lunch for Valentines Day. We stopped at the Bass Pro Shop and I got a gallon of the Quicksilver Super Premium Plus 2 cycle oil for my Gambler. It was $26.50 a GALLON! That's way up from the $16-18 that I recall from last year. Geez, did we lose a war or something?

Anyone know where this might be cheaper or has it all gone thru the roof? thanks, m

Talk to your local marina.

They might be able to sell you bulk oil out of their large drums if you bring in your old gallon containers.

Mikie, you should be able to get bulk oil much cheaper from any reputable merc dealer. I was buying 2.5 gal jugs and getting them refilled. That was until a local Gander closed and I got 7 2.5 gal bottles for 40% off. Now I've got enough oil for a couple years.

I got 4 gallons of AmsOil last year at Gander...on sale $15 bucks a gallon. I'm set for a while as well.

I love my 4-stroke, No Oil, No Fumes, Better gas Mileage.

But like the others have said try to buy from the Bulk tanks at Marinas or ( I Know you don't like It ) Wal-Mart, K-Mart Etc
