Again, your numbers don't add up. No retailer is going to sell any of their products at a loss...
Why have motor oil prices gone up so much?

I'll buy an EV when the place down below freezes over...Because you can’t drive your filthy, climate-destroying ICE forever if you can’t afford engine oil. You’ll have to buy their filthy, climate-destroying EV instead!
Add up against what?
As I said, in 2019, they were making a lot of money on oil.
In 2022, they’re not losing money. But not making a ton either.
You, do not have to believe my numbers. You don’t. Others can vouch for me, I am an owner of one of the largest lubricants distributors in the US. My numbers are completely factual. Even HPL, Agrees with them.
If you don’t like it, don’t believe it, that’s fine. But there’s the information. You can make your own decisions from there.
It's hard to have a conversation when someone has their head stuck in the sand.. or with grumpy man yelling at cloud. Your info was well presented.
The math is simple. If the costs to bring motor oil to the shelf have doubled, but the price of the product has gone up 60%, they are losing money selling it. The only possible explanation is the costs you have mentioned have not gone up as much as you claim they have...
I can do math...
Reladyne? (BTW, I agree with your numbers & position on this, we have a devil of a time getting anything these days, in parts, etc.)
We’re of a breed that they will have to pry the keys from our cold, dead hands. Unfortunately, the masses will gladly give up freedom and responsibility for public transport and a controlled life of relative ease…
Sorry, your numbers just don't add up...
Close, but no. However there is a fun story between the Oehler family and mine. Actually, a lot of good stories.
My numbers make perfect sense.
You just don’t know the math. Because you’re missing major points.
You’re assuming they’re making the same profit margin.
Hypothetically, in 2019 Walmart could of been paying $7 for a 5 quart jug. And selling it for $17.
Hypothetically in 2022, they could be buying a 5 quart jug for $18, and selling it for $24.
And my numbers make perfect sense. And… are probably pretty close to the truth.
You just can’t do math, nor do you know the industry. And that’s okay.
The US could be out of diesel fuel in less than 25 day, if that happens you wont have to worry about higher prices, there will be nothing to buy.
There is only one person to blame. Thanks ESJ.

Click bait and false.
I wrote a company wide email about this yesterday. It was 3 pages in Microsoft word.
Please don’t make this political.

How about if I tell you how to save 100% on your oil purchases?. Stop being a old cheapskate and get with the times. If oil is too expensive for you, get rid of everything in your life that needs oil . There, you saved an easy 100 %. That relevant enough for you?.,,
You forgot al the damage mining the minerals for the batteries does to the ecology as well.Because you can’t drive your filthy, climate-destroying ICE forever if you can’t afford engine oil. You’ll have to buy their filthy, climate-destroying EV instead!
