Really, that much? See post #92, Amsoil as low as around $38 gal for 5w40 or 15w40…

Covid is causing it. As well as the sinking of the Titanic
I dont see where there will be that much change. How many times have you gone into I a store only to hear. “Sorry about that, we dont have any. We can order it for you to pick up .” Why does any retail store think that is an acceptable solution? Downsizing inventory and only ordering the “stuff” that sells helped push us here.I think that what we are seeing is a complete change in our traditional retail system. The future may be one without stores with shelves.... won't that be a change when most retail will be order online and take delivery. I believe what we are seeing now is just the start of this change, but I bet the change is complete far sooner than we expect. It's changing right now.
Check this out: This Xmas week after no luck locally looking for a matched pair of big group 31 tractor batteries, I ordered them from an online battery warehouse. Ordered them Monday & they arrived this morning. That's 3 days, 150 lbs, 1200 miles, on my doorstep, std. shipping rates... and the lower cost more than covered the shipping.
