most boat shops will fill it for bulk prices..... i got some for 18$ ( i think)  at d&r last year. Pretty sure i would've remember paying 200$ for oil... so it wasnt 38$ anyway.

I just saw $38/gallon for Yamaha 2M the other day at Gander.  It's been quite a while since I bought it since I had a case last year but I thought it was closer to $30.

If you have the original containers you might be able to get bulk filled at Wonderland Marine West for a good price. Their open house is the last weekend in March.

Send a PM to FOB (Ralph Blasey) to check details and availability. You can call him during the day at 866-776-7969

The Evinrude XD50 2 stroke oil that I like to run went to $50 a gallon last year.  I was getting it for under $20 a couple years ago.  I don't know what drives the price up so far but I hate paying for it.  I might have to find a cheaper alternative.

Cy,   

Keep shopping and buy from bulk.  I use XD100 for less $$ than that price.  Gander is usually very expensive for oil.

i just got back from Gander on 28th st in GR and they had quicksilver DFI 2-stroke oil for 79.99 with the green 50% tag
they were the 2.5 gallon jugs.

[djkimmel]

So does that mean they were actually $40??

[oldjigger]

just got back.  they are having a lot of sales at 25% AND 50% off on certain things.  They are not going to handle the oil in the 2 1/2 size any more.  They were supposed to be 25 % off but when I got to the cash register with all 3 jugs the girl rang them up for 50% off so yes I got them for $40 a jug ;

::)D

[thedude]

yeah 40$. booyah.

the sign said anything green or orange tag was 50$ off the marked price... shoulda bought more.

North Bay Marine in New Baltimore has it for $22.00 Gal. Bulk bring you own empty containers.

Hey Jigger give Camp and Cruise a call they always did me right with oil and I always got a case of merc gas treatment with it . Ask Ryan or Fred for a good deal.
