The last I found at O'Reilly's, a midwest FLAPS that is expanding,  
but the
local store seems to have lost interest and doesn't have any in  
stock.  The
Walmart stores have reduced the number of different oil brands and  
weights.
I believe it is a marketing decision to maximize profits since the  
margin on the
synthetics has been pretty thin without incentives.  I see they are  
trying to cure
that with an across the board price hike as well.

I continued to use the 15-50 Mobil 1 since the previous owner had  
used it for so
long, and with summer temps starting at 80F for a morning start, I  
felt it was ok as
a compromise.  Looks like 10W-30 will be difficult enough to find now.
