Auto Zone now has the 12 oz bottles buy one get one free.
Not as good of a deal as the 20oz bottles but pretty damn close.

Me too, then he told me Lucas was better stuff. There was a full end display of Lucas products so maybe there was a spiff on Lucas sales maybe. Anyone like Lucas better?

My original fuel pump is still going strong after nearly 11 years.
