They probably want to expand in the U.S. since they have been huge in the UK for many years. Lots of the scoobynet guys use Millers.

Check out this price in the UK, which works out to about $144 including tax:

The closest oil that you'll find to this oil in the U.S. in regards to base stocks is Motul 300V and that's around $30 for a 2L can. Millers is supplying a ton of data and I admire them for that. Much better than some companies that do engine oil comparison tests with machines that are used to test gear lubes (and the public buys into those tests).
