Re: [MBZ] Mobil 1 sighting
I noticed the walmart here now has the TSUV stuff on the self again, at least for now. Curt Raymond wrote: Gang, My wife and I were down in Connecticut last weekend for a retirement party.

The 5000 mile stuff was $5.65 a quart so it wasn't only Mobil 1 priced obscenely. I nearly gagged. I hearby promise to never complain about the price of Mobil 1 when its under $6 a quart... -Curt - Love cheap thrills? Enjoy PC-to-Phone calls to 30+ countries for just 2ยข/min with Yahoo!

Mobil 1 was USD$26/L at Carrefour (French Walmart) in Singapore last year. That's actually a bargain compared to the cost of a Mercedes in which to put it, relative to the US.

Re: [MBZ] Mobil 1 sighting
Same here. Lots of TS on the shelf but it's all the new 5W-30 crap. The 5W-40 (aka Turbo Diesel Truck) is still nowhere to be found. :-( -dm -- Date: Tue, 18 Apr 2006 01:03:12 -0400 From: Mitch Haley [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [MBZ] Mobil 1 sighting Kaleb C.

Or better, become Singapore's discount Mobil distributor ... The import duty is probably pretty steep. I bet that's the reason why it's so expensive at retail there. If you shipped enough for an oil change, I'm sure the recipient would be paying a big tax.
