Has anyone Noticed?

Not to long ago I priced out O2 sensors. $15.99 for the front, $16.99 for the rear. Within a week of gas prices going through the roof, the same sensors are now $59.99 and $69.99. A $14.99 Distributor cap is now $34.99. All parts related to tune-ups seem to have jumped in price, am I the only one who sees this? Except for the PCV Valve, it was still $2.98.

Yeah, I just bought the Accel truck tune up kit. It came with cap, rotor, Accell 9000 extreme wires and Accel U-groove spark plugs. I also bought the Accel HEI remote mount super coil to replace my stock one. O2 sensors are ridiculously expensive. I put a header on my wife's 2001 Accord and had to replace the O2 sensor, it was like $80 for a universal one, a plug up one was like $300!!!

The parts for 96-up trucks have always been expensive.

I'd like to know where you were getting O2 sensors for OBD-II for < $20. I've been selling parts for over 7 years now, and I know the only ones that have ever been that cheap are the 1 wire sensors for OBD-I vehicles.
