Current prices @ Walmart for 5qts:
M1: $26.68
PP: $25.17
RP: $37.79
Nearly 50% more expensive without any data to justify the cost.
While you are correct, those prices are kinda irrelevant as the OP is asking about the HPS line of RP which is quite different from the API certified oil offered at Walmart. HPS is an expensive oil, is it worth it? Well let's just say you and I probably think more alike than different regarding its cost/benefit factor lol.
With that said, I've ran the API oil before and I was pleased with it. I won't pay $37+ dollars a jug for it though. The HPS would be and interesting oil to try if I had a performance vehicle without catalytic converters.
RP generally gets a bad rap here, and for the most part it is because of cost as you have noted.
