原油価格が1バレル100ドルに迫る中、コストコは全合成モーターオイルの価格を倍増させ、購入数の制限を開始した。約30ドルだった10クォート入りケースは現在57ドル99セントとなり、購入は会員1人につき週2個までに制限されている。米国の軽油は今週、初めて1ガロン6ドルを超え、米国とイランの紛争が始まって以来、世界の石油在庫は5億バレル以上減少した。コストコへの圧力がより厳しいのは、同社の看板商品であるカークランドのオイルがGMのDexos1 Gen 3認証を取得しており、メーカーが製品ごと、販売個数ごとにGMに別途支払う必要があるため、DIYでの節約効果が薄れているからだ。影響はコストコだけではない。モービル1も5個までに制限され、6クォートが44ドルとなっている。国際エネルギー機関は8月、2026年の世界石油供給見通しを1日1億200万バレルに引き下げ、現在は第3四半期に1日180万バレルの供給不足を予測している。一方、シェブロンのマイク・ワース最高経営責任者は先週、これまでの価格急騰を緩和してきた余剰能力が今や枯渇していると述べた。
