yeah...whatever i guess
ive got more things to worry about in life then fuggin oil companies. trying to figure them out is like trying to figure out women. you can complain about something but at the end of the day you still go back
Fugg it
EDIT- i also love it when people b*itch about when gas goes up 25 cents. what’s that mean...like an extra few bucks per fill up? if you’re cutting it that close in life your doing something wrong.
We’ll go to caribou and fork over $5 for a coffee or $9 for pop and popcorn at a movie without thinking...but holy crap when gas goes up 25 cents! The worlds coming down.
Sorry about B*tching...i just HATE people that complain about uncontrollable things

I don't think they should be able to call it a full synthetic if it is derived from minerals. They need to come up with some new term if it performs like a synthetic though and market it that way. Because right now they are just BSing everyone.

interesting. mobil got mad that castrol was saving money by making oil cheaper so they sued them, and referred to the old adage, if you cant beat em, join em. now theyre doing the same.
doesnt matter. i cant use synthetic anyway. leaks like a mother.

just thought it was something that you guys might be interested in as we all take such care in our cars, it aggrivates me that I spend $6 a quart on synthetic blend more or less. Not that there is much that we can do about it, but don't you feel "burned" up by this? Looks like amsoil from here on out for me.

Also, the fact that gas prices are effected by fairly trivial events is what burns me up. If a camel farts in the desert, the price of gas goes up. A gasoline truck gets in a fender bender, the price of gas goes up. There's seemingly no rhyme or reason to the rise of gas prices anymore. They just know that they can increase it and we still have to buy it. I'm glad you're so complacent with prices rising. I'm sure you'll still be happy when it's 5 or more dollars a gallon. I'll be riding a fuel efficient motorcycle when that happens.
