That Mobil-1 stuff will remain cheap at Wal-Mart stores.....as long as Wal-Mart says. If there were fewer alternative big-box variety stores, then Wal-Mart would be able to sell it just a tad under the Auto-Zone price. The reason it is so far below the Auto-Zone price is because that's how you drive Target out of business. Once that has been accomplished, Wal-Mart can sell you Mobil-1 at any price at or below the Auto-Zone price.
Competition requires choices. Alternatives. Wal-Mart is actively and purposefully reducing those choices.
