CHEAP! E-tec XD100 Oil
Who fancies getting together and importing a couple of 55 gallon drums.
http://www.domo-online.com/evinrudexd100
$2,854 for the oil
$600 for shipping (for 2 barrels)
$499 VAT at 17.5%
$85 customs duty at 3%
So a total of $4,038.00
£2,552 in total
or £23.20 per gallon that's quite a bit lower than half price!!
I reckon 10 people need to club together. £250.00 each an you get 11 gallons of the good stuff instead of the normal 6 at UK prices.
If you are interested please PM me.

If you do decide to ship from the States, please let me know and I'll buy a few gallons of XD50 and contribute towards the Freight costs.
But how about waiting till the exchange rate goes back up to $2 to the £

I'm with Hightower and need XD50 which is only $900 for a 55gallon drum - I'd go for 11 gallons of that, and assuming Andy would take 11, you only need 3 more peeps for the XD50 and 3 more for the XD100
Not sure the exchange rate will go back to $2/£ though

We could go for 11g of each, but not sure about the divying up - what containers are you thinking of?

I will leave it to you guys to sort out as there do not seem to be any takers for the XD100 and I certainly wont need 55 gallons of it for personal use
If you decide to go ahead and want the details of the shipping co. please feel free to ask.

I'm assuming you're talking about dividing up the 55 Gallon drum. I would go down to the nearest comunity tip and get as many engine oil bottles as possible, these should be free and need minimal cleaning.

So that's 4 of us then.......Are we gonna do it then?
$900 for 55 gallon Drum
$157.5 for the VAT
$27 Duty
Plus Delivery at say $400
That's $1484.5 in total or about $371 each or £235 each for 13.75 US Gallons, that's half price at todays currency.
