    I do not get the point of this. My Toyota Dealer (after very little hagle) charged 29.99 (+tax) for the oil change. I had them change it at 5k while I was there for the free service ... that included the new filter washer .... and the labour ... I bet filter/washer cost at least $7 ...

    And Toyot's 0w20 synth oil is considered high quality if I am not mistaken.

    Good price for sure. One of the perks our dealer "gives" is 10.00 oil changes
    Yes synthetic

    Well I do not know ... but the "regular" was $19.99 and I had prius service there for over 5 years ...

    Of course I can not tell just to pull the stick and see, but Toyota 0w20 IS on the receipt ... I know they try to cheat but putting in writing .. and then cheat ..

    I asked for the used oil sample up front and they did give it me no problem. So they knew I was interested. Not sure they will do cheat what $5 dollar .. that for them the difference is not worth it if I challange it.

    Many of the newer Walmarts in Georgia sell gas. All of the stations that I have seen are called Murphy USA. I have a Walmart credit card and get an additional 15 cents off of what is already a very competitive price. I have been buying it almost exclusively (regular for my 2012 Prius, and Hi-test for my Lexus). I have never had a problem with this brand of gas. I think that I paid $3.33 per gallon of regular at my last fillup. I love Walmart! My wife, the snob, won't set foot in a Walmart.
