Got any data?
Boeing Boeshield T9 4 oz $ 4.99
White Lightening 4 oz $ 3.99
Phil Wood Tenacious Oil 4 oz $ 2.99
Cling-Tuf Bar and Chain Oil, 128 oz $4.29
OK, I'm convinced chainsaw oil is cheaper than any of the
bicycling-labeled oils. That's one of cleaner, better lubricating,
cheaper. Now anyone want to argue "Better"?
In my opinion, it's unquestionably better than White Lightning, at least if
you occasionally ride in the rain, don't like your chain to rust, and don't
like to have to replenish your lube every 30 km or so. I haven't tried any
of the others since I switched to bar oil from White Lightning, but I find
it difficult to imagine anything that would work significantly better for
me, and when the other lubes are 30 times the price, I have little
motivation to experiment with them.
White Lightning did indeed leave the outside of my chain cleaner, but it
gummed up my rear derailer more.
