Wow $42 a gallon seems really high it had better be the $h1t at that price. What's supposed to be new and improved about it? Has Mercury finally built its own refinery?

Also need to make sure you all are using the new mercury racing gear lube also. It is yellow/clear in color. I have been running it for months now. Good Stuff.
I will check with my source down here and see what they charge for the racing 2 stroke oil. I am not sure what I am paying/??? LOL

Like everything else if you have to ask you probably should not be doing it.

I have been getting mine for $21.99 and $23.99...guess I'm lucky???

LA are you sure that is the new stuff? That seems like a good deal. The new oil is all synthetic.

I have been running Sierra gear lube for 10+ tears without any problems. With 260s' I changed the lube after every run turning 7k rpms +. Now with the 225s' I can extend the lube changes to every 5th time out turning 6900 rpm infrequently. I quit buying Mercury synthetic and went to Pennzoil synthetic and haven't even fouled a plug in three years with the promaxes. If it says Merc I run from it. my .02 cents.
