I just left HD. Biggest bottles of echo oil was those squeeze bottles of 16oz. Power blend was $9 and red armor was $13. The one gallon mix bottles are $3 and $4 respectively.
Thats either $18 or $26/qt. Thats too much. I left without any. Ill buy Saber shipped to my house before i pay that!

Im going back to the walmart oil till i find something longterm unless that will be my long term.

Do you have Marvin’s home improvement stores near you? I know they’re a southern thing, but I buy RA one gallon mix (2.6oz) bottles there for $1.88 and have for quite awhile.

I bought the echo red armor online, ebay I believe. I aint driving all over lookin for oil when it's just a few clicks away and at your door 2-5 days later.

I normally dont either. But i made a stop by there in my work truck. All other oil i have used in the last 5 years or so i ordered online. I didnt see anything i thought was the right price for oil.

But i keep thinking i will just buy the gallon of powerblend off ebay for like $45 shipped. Thats just a lot of oil for me. Several years worth. I havent been useing as much gas the last few years as i have been coordinating wood getting when my loggers are in hardwood. It saves some fuel since they cut it down and bucknit into trailer lengths for me.

I here ya man, I don't use my saws at work so I don't need a gallon of oil either. I bought a 6 pack of 8 ouncers I think they are. That way I don't have a open bottle of oil for very long. I only mix a gallon at a time for personal use. We cut a massive willow oak today and had half the tree dropped off at my place. Time to mix up a fresh gallon, gonna try to get some airplane fuel tomorrow. Word on the street says it's supposed to be e-free and 94 octane.

Actual aviation fuel is usually 100 octane.

I can get 87 E free and 90 (i think is what they call the premium now) e free. I usually just run 87.

Thats what I always thought or even higher, I'll go to the airport tomorrow and see whats up. I'll post my findings
And it has Lead in it too (hence the LL, which stands for Low Lead) It is E free. FAA regs don't allow ethonol in aviation fuel.

I personally wouldn't be running any leaded fuel in my OPE where I am standing around in clouds of exhaust for any period of time.

Wow I just found out a local backwoods dirt bike shop sells 91/95/110 e-free out of 55 gallon drums. Supposedly its 7 dollars a gallon for the 91 unleaded and a 2 gallon minimum. It's about 10 mins from my place. Bike shop has been there my whole life w/ racing fuel signs out front. Just never crossed my mind that he's got e-free lower octane stuff since he's got a cam 2 sign. Good deal and helps support local small town business. Much better then 20 bucks for vp premix or 6 dollar trufuel cans. I've always used e free just for storage, finally get to use it full time.

Where do you live!! That's terrible! I can buy 90 or 91 e free all over the place down here for like $2.70 a gallon right now. I can buy the VP racing fuel at a pump that's like 94 octane for a similar price your describing.
