Even $60 seems high ($12/gallon).  You must live in an area with 
expensive shipping, etc.  That's 50% higher than the Los Angeles area price.

You'll never find it  in quantities smaller than 5 gallons at a 
dealer.  Except perhaps by someone willing to sell you quantities 
they decant for you from their larger container: at a place that uses 
it on a large scale (transformer shops, etc)
