Hi all. Going to change the oil in my Class'A'. Went to the auto parts store to get the oil. Conventional. A Barrel (55 Gallons)sells for about $32 on the world market. WHY does it STILL cost about $5.00 a QUART???:M
You may as well ask why a two liter bottle of Coke is sometimes cheaper than a 24 oz bottle at the mini-mart.
By the way, a barrel of oil (as in the unit of measure) is 42 gallons, even though an oil barrel (or drum) holds 55 gallons. A standard oil barrel holds about 1.3 barrels. The price per barrel refers to the unit of measure, not the container.
