anybody buying a barrel of oil for their 2 strokes

[tarheel1]

My local Yamaha dealer has suggested that I buy a barrel of yamalube rather than buying the 1 gallon containers. I am already recycling the containers which saves a few bucks over buying the brand new containers-- but I am seriously considering buying a 55 gallon drum which can save $3-$4 per gallon over what I am already saving. I would not use a full barrel in a year, however i do have a place to store it and am wondering if buying it now will be cheaper than trying to buy it next year?

Every year I buy a berrel for my e-tecs it cost about $1600 it is a good savings, I would do it even if it was more expensive just cause its is so easy instead of driving to the dealer waisting gas and filliing the bottles

We did years ago for the club. I think we had twenty-odd boats then. Everybody got a gulp of it and each persons portion lasted about the whole season.

Interesting that we used Yamalube and ran it in all kinds of OB's. The year before we lost two johnson powerheads and one merc. The year we all ran the Yamalube there were no blown heads.

Might just be a coincidence?

I would no buy a drum just for myself, because I don't use it quick enough. But I go in with about five other people in a heartbeat.

It was one pain handling that drum. I'd guess about 350 pounds that sucker weighed! Somebody came up with the bung valve for it...so it cost us nothing.

( I'm three hundred miles from the club now.)

Prices hardly ever go down.
