"What's the going price per gallon of sperm

Unless the Braycote products are directly interchangeable with Sperm
Whale oil, how is your comparison even remotely relevant?
They are rendered from entirely different sources. Whale oil is a
natural, animal-derived product that pretty much went out with the
depletion of the resources (and finally, international treaties).
P/TFE and MoS2 were formulated in industrial laboratories, and to
this day, are turned out by industrial processes.
Am I incorrect?
No, just pointing out that there *are* other oils with very high price
tags--and in years past, could be purchased by the gallon.
ISTR that the antique clock folks still hoard whale oil.
