Yes, have to agree, oil does seem to be getting much more expensive.
I just wait for big reductions,sales, and go buy a few bottles.

I just stock up when it's on sale too, Castrol Edge 0W-40 can range from $50 to $100 at times

Supercheap price match it less $1.00, with the interwebs it's pretty easy to get it cheaper

Why would full synthetic go up? Is there no mineral oil in the stuff? Rip off.

"Fully synthetic" is a misnomer. Put simply it is NOT "fully synthetic".

Yes, there are many man-made additives in it, but the base oil is still made from distilled crude.

But if they called it chemically modified oil no one would buy it
