It's not always all about price.
Maybe you like the product. If we can save a few bucks and get our usual
stuff, why not?
I agree with you about the costs of vintage racing, but if you have had
sucess in the past with a product, why not stick with it?
That's why there are many oils on the market. Choose the one you like.
Cheers, Bill
