Insights by Echo AI
Costco has started rationing motor oil due to a global shortage, limiting customers to one transaction and a maximum of two units every seven days. This move comes amidst a broader crisis in the oil market, driven by the war in the Middle East and increased demand for refined products like gasoline and diesel. The retailer is also reported to have doubled the price of motor oil. Experts warn that this could significantly impact middle-class Americans ahead of elections.
