Go to Wal-Mart, if possible.  They have the Shell T6 at the lowest price I've found yet:  ~$21/gallon jug, everyday price.  No one asks any questions there.

I've tried to locate the T6 in bulk format, even on-line, but no luck.  I run it in every engine I've got, as it is basically a universal oil (even my 1965 air compressor -- had to use it last winter, in sub-freezing temps, and the straight 30-weight, non-detergent oil was so stiff, it would not turn over; drained that crap, filled it with the Shell, and the T6 spun it over like it was summer, and in the 80's!).  The only way I've found to buy the T6 in bulk (say, 10-15 gallons, a 2-3 year supply), was by the 80-gallon drum (this would last me around 20 years...).  Mills Fleet Farm did, however, sell it by the box of four, one-gallon jugs; the price was the same as the individual jugs, so no savings going that route.  Cheers!
