The price of gasoline is about 1,6€~1.82USD today...but 1 liter, not 1 galon Blush

Notice that this is almost the lowest price in this last year...

Got brand name regular unleaded today for $0.949 Cdn per L (0.62 euro), and it is going down some more. Our U.S. folks probably still laugh at our price.

Update: AU$66 today for oil and filter kit.

I pay about $30.00 for a gallon of full synthetic Shell Rotella and a OEM Honda filter.

Those numbers make sense fer 'merican prices.

What is the oil grade of the Shell Rotella? Walmart?

I suspect he's using Rotella T6 5w-40. It's the only full synthetic Rotella that meets the JASO-MA spec required by Honda. They also make a non-synth version (T4) in 15w-40 that meets the spec.

I usually buy the gallon jug of T6 at Walmart for around $21-$22.

Thanks Flynrider.

The 15W40 makes sense in the Arizona hot season. I have considered the T6 5W40 for more northern climate.

Yes sir. Been using Rotella T6 for many years. Meets ALL the standards for ALL engines at 1/3 the price. I use T4 for break in.
