You have nothing to complain about @ 3.19 a qt.
Yamaha 4 stroke oil is over $5
I fixed a Saturn a few months ago, trans fluid was over $16 a quart !

Auto zone - 6 qt Penn oil and a filter 20 buks on sale? It almost makes it a good deal when the Jeep dealer runs a special at 25 buks including a lube job. (Even though ya gotta watch the lube job)
