OMG...Anyone bought a case of oil lately?

I just spent a little over $45.00 on a case of 10/30 Penzoil @ Walmart. Not only did I not catch it, she charged me twice for it $3.75 a qt? $15.00 a gallon? WTF! So, 40 miles round trip and no questions asked I get my
$90+ dollars back.
(sorry, had to rant there)
Anyways.....what's a case/qt of 10/30 going for in your neck of the woods?

I don't know what a case of 10/30 is going for as I always buy the 5 qt jugs of Valvoline it was $9.57 just the other day.

Tell me about it, I had to pick oil for my dad a few weeks ago. Between the Bobcat, his 6.0L, the tractor and moms TDI Jetta, I had to get 20 gals. At $13/gallon it adds up quick, lucky we got a 10% discount because of the quantity.

Most of the 5 qts here were @ $16.00. Syn was $22.00.
I quess that was a preview of what was about to come, but an un-refined 55 gl drum is going for, what say $30-$50? Jeez!

I think I would notice how much it was when I picked it up, and certainly when the cashier rung it up.
