Costco to dbl oil prices?

[MapleLeafFarmer]

So for my anniversary I decided to take the better half out to dinner.
So we are sitting down eating our hotdogs at Costco and an employee sits beside us. We strike up a conversation and it turns to inflation and prices.
He says he just unloaded a trailer and this was their last shipment of oil around the $30/gal mark. Next delivery was going to raise prices to $55. Talking about motor type oils.
We are good here as we already bought most of our oil in bulk when our fall fuel arrived.
That's a big jump. Guess we should have seen this coming as well as crude and gas in the rise so oil for engine/hydraulic sure to follow suit.
Ouch.

I don't know if I'd be worried about the price of oil when the wife is probably going to take half your money after an anniversary dinner at Costco.

Get your supplies before the price goes up if needed and if you can.

Just a little pain for the price of freedom.

I'm still using the factory oil.

There has been some talk on another forum I belong to about supply constraints for the base products used to make most motor oils. The person who started the thread owns a petroleum distribution company and he provided a lot of perspective in to what’s happening being the scenes due to the ongoing conflict in the Middle East.

Every time I drive past a Walmart, I stop to see what’s in stock. I grab 3 or 4 5 quart jugs of the oil I use in my cars, ATVs, and other machiner (5w-30 ESP, 0w-40 FS, 5w-40 DELVAC).

The Mobil 1 products I use have gone up by about $4 per 5 quart jug. Some are not being stocked anymore. I suspect there may be more price increases coming.
