Just bought 7 qts of Amsoil from my local dealer, it was $90 total with tax and title. A little high, but inexpensive compared to the cost my my Ultra. Only the best for my "baby".

I think I get what your reply is trying to convey rockdoc. You can say you like the product without $$$.

Well, after reading what the rest of you folks are paying...I think I'll just stick with my Amsoil connection. Last week, I bought a case (12 qts.) for $81.20 delivered. Now, that includes the $11.84 freight and the $4.68 CA tax. Got the receipt right in front of me. Guess I got a good deal, huh? Oh, and that also includes .48 cents for some Recycl/Lubricating/Environ/Fee.

Maybe this isn't the same oil that you guys are running in your bikes. This is Amsoil Synthetic XL 10w30 that I bought for the Civic. Must be a lower grade synthetic, or something. I'm running Redline in the bike right now.

Who says I'm upset? I'm saying what you have said. I will spend my dollars elsewhere with another brand. I'm for free enterprise and understand price increases but a $21 increase over a couple of months for a few quarts of oil is what I consider a rip-off.
Do you think an 80% increase if fair or justified? I don't.

EXACTLY! I agree.

I'm probably going to get jumped on for making this observation, but, isn't this Amsoil stuff pretty much distributed and sold like Amway? In a "pyramid-type" deal?
