Subject:Bulk oil (was Re: Diesel Fuel vs Gasoline)

Hi Volks,

Just before EveryBus I did an oil change on the westfakia.

The local Canadian Tire store had Castrol 20W50 was $CDN 12.79 for a
gallon (3.8 liters)

In one liter bottles it was only $CDN 2.99.

Doing the mat tells me that buying the one-gallon bottle cost an extra
$CDN 0.25/liter.  Amazing.

Happy trails,
