At $3.00, I didn't take any Spectrol home with me.
Exactly. At the same location, the Mobil Super 1000 is only a little more money, and I'd probably stick with that. The only thing that made me look at the Spectrol at all was that it was something I hadn't seen, it had fancy bottles, and it did have synthetic and blends at fairly competitive prices.
But, if they want to make any headway in North America, they're going to have to do better than that, in quality, price, and distribution. As I mentioned, I can imagine a few shops and convenience stores buying it, but they're certainly not going to get any big dealer contracts or a bunch of DIYers buying it, either. Heck, even independent parts stores here sell QSGB for a similar price once in a while.
