    Same price out here. That seems to be the best current "deal" I've seen around recently.

    I still have enough stashed away to last the next couple years, but it would be nice to know if we're indeed at the point where it's as cheap as it will ever be ever again.

    Might try the Dawn dish soap container. I was using a 1 gallon gas can for a while but it was still sloppy.

    I have one old bar oil quart like this but the top and cap are just about gone. I should see if I can order just the tops.

    I bought some cheap funnels from Habor Freight and use one of them when I am refilling my Dawn bottle from my gallon jug of bar oil. No muss, no fuss.

    Why? I guess a sane person could ask the same of firewood in general, no? It's not like the trees are going to stop growing...
    Welcome back to the hoard everything club :)

    lol, ok, I thought there might be some kind of bar oil shortage going on or something. I a gallon of Stihl regular bar oil, about 3/4 full. And I have about 1/2 gallon of an off brand(blue bottle?) of “winter grade”. I do not think I can be classified i to the “BOH” club. Carry on fellas!

    “BOH Club” shirts?? Imagine how many people would ask “Excuse me sir, what is the BOH Club?” MIND YOUR BUSINESS!
