Re: Confused about motor oil prices
For now, OPEC is in control of a very well planned strategy on Universal Petroleum Economics.
Simple Lubricating Oil Cost "101" .......... all we need to do is begin to change oil every 25,000 - 50,000 miles ..... after they all run out of oil storage space, that will teach the oil companies a thing or two. LOL |

Huh? “Most motor oils are made from a heavier, thicker petroleum hydrocarbon base stock derived from crude oil, with additives to improve certain properties.” I lied. I didn’t pay $1.89 for gas; I paid $1.69. I think I have it now. On additives: If the price of wheat (crude) goes down 75% then I can expect the price of white bread (gas) to go down somewhat, but not the price of rye bread (motor oil) because of that tablespoon of caraway seeds (additives). Supply and demand: Apparently motor oil is not subject to S&D. The supply is great and the demand is decreasing (more use of synthetics, modern cars=fewer oil changes). Something in the milk ain’t white. Last edited by spinelll; 01-18-2016 at 10:27 PM. |
