    DFI versus Premium Plus oil

    Well my local store that had decent prices on DFI oil looks like they don't carry it anymore.
    Everybody else wants an arm and a leg for a gallon.
    Has anyone made the switch to premium plus?
    If so did you notice any difference in performance?

    I'm afraid to switch, just going to bite the bullet and fork out $40 for another gallon.

    Well i found a place that will sell me a 55 gallon drum at a good price. Only question is how long is the shelf life?
    I guess I could sell some as a bring your own jug.

    Well call me crazy but I bought a 55 gallon drum today.
    Might even offer to sell some to guys at the ramp.
    I use 12 - 15 a year fishing year round so I could go through all of it.
    A lot cheaper than $40 a gallon. I should be good for a while.
