Default 2 Cycle Oil - Bang for the buck?

So what is the best bang for the buck for 2 cycle oil. Application is 150Hp outboards EFI. I've always used AMSOIL HP Injector Sysnthetic in my 2 stroke applications. It's around $23 a gallon if you do the prefered customer thing and pick it up locally. Just wondered if there is a comparable product at a better price.

For me,the best bang for the buck used to be the bulk Yamalube from the Yamaha dealer. Bring in a gallon jug and they'd fill it from their 55 gallon drum.

I don't know what it is now days,as I haven't run much 2 cycle in a couple years.

I bought 3 cases of oil last year at Wal-Mart for $6.99 a gal
I should have enough for the year but I will stock up again if the price is still lower than $12

Bulk Yamalube is about $21.00 a gallon now. Up from $17.00 a gallon I paid last year. Just finished buying 18 gallons of it which will last a good part of the season.

I've heard a lot of good things about the Amsoil. If I were you I'd just stick with the same.
