Well, I bought a case (or 2) of it when they discontinued it about 15 years ago, and the labels on mine don't look like the label shown there or here....did they start making/selling it again? (I'm still using the stuff, and it seems to work just fine, even though I read in the thread linked above that somebody said Mobil said it only lasts a year or two on the shelf...)

Mobil Racing 2T is still made + sold in Europe and Australia, I think. If someone brought a couple pallets over, that could be it.

No clue if it's the same stuff we knew and loved, either. Or if that's even a legit website.
It looks like a legit website to me. I added 1 bottle to the cart and shipping would be $33.33

That shipping cost makes me think it's shipping from Europe or Australia. Wonder how shipping changes with more bottles, might still be worth doing if someone ordered enough.

Edit: Checked it myself, shipping via DHL. Definitely coming from overseas.

Bumped it up to 8 bottles, shipping went to $64. $21/liter total, $80+/gal. Echo Red Armor is $68/gal on Amazon.

Nevermind then.

Any idea why it's not sold here?
I suspect it was a case of low demand due to poor marketing and it was too cheap for its quality.
It originally sold for $3.50 a pint and sometimes even cheaper.
Most guys in the bike world never knew about it because Mobil never advertised in the bike magazines. I only knew about because friend turned me on to it.
I believe I was the first guy to mention it on this site more than 20 years ago.
