Larry,

That can't be right. Lamp oil at our WM locally is $10.99 retail.
A 2.5 Gallon jug is 32.99. Alot less via Port Supply. And if course
quite a bit less via other outlets. It must have been a marked
incorrectly. The price seems about right for the lamps themselves
though.

Not only was that marked on the original sales tag, but it was also
marked on the red sale tag. None of them seemed to notice (or care,
of course). It was a pre-printed Waste Marine tag, right off the
computer....(c;

I can't imagine what could in the stuff WM sells that would make it
worth that much...'cuz a quart of lamp oil at my friendly neighborhood
hardware store is $3.29/quart. Prob'ly even cheaper at Home Depot.

It's just plain old liquid parafin. Everything from Weems & Plath is
expensive. They sell 2.5 gallon containers for $32 which it still
higher than you can get it elsewhere but more reasonable.

I notice on that link, there is an opportunity for someone to submit a
review of this product.. It presently show "0" reviews..

Do you suppose that they would post a negative review regarding the price??
