I'm not looking for hand outs or favors, I make a good living and can afford the oil but you are really missing the point. A $21 increase from my last oil change 4 months ago is ludicrous! If you can't see that then shame on you.
If you don't think that is gouging compared to my last purchase then I have some swamp land I would like to sell you.

I just hung up with my local Amsoil dealer and it's still $9.69 a quart out the door for 20W-50...
I'm approaching 86,000 miles without a single stutter on my E-Glide with Amsoil so been happy with it.
The prices of every thing have gone up 10 to 20 percent this year due to fuel costs with shipping/freight.

I saw a thing on discovery channel about makeing Syn oils. They said the modern syn oils are made from Natural Gas, not dino oil. Natural gas prices do tend to track oil prices.

If, as all the "experts" here claim, synthetic oil is not derived from base crude oils (which it is), why would Ams have any reason to raise their prices except to cover transportation costs? They could sell this fake lab oil way cheaper than regular dino or syn blend oil and make a killing. Simple supply and demand. If you want to sell less, raise your prices - if you want to sell more, lower your prices. But then, they would just be greedy again when they had good profits. Might dust off your old ECON 101 book and do some reading about price gouging in a free economy.

All along the way, oil and electricity were used. You'd be hard pressed to name 10 items you've bought in the last year that haven't used oil somewhere in their production. Heck, you might not be able to name one product in 10 years!

Hmm why don't they use Amsoil in their delivery trucks and keep that cost down? Break down the wheaties into fuel. Done deal... cheaper oil for your bikes...
Never seen wheaties and Amsoil come out of the same delivery truck unless it was leaking?
