Amen! For the last six weeks or so I have been lubing my chain with.... olive oil. Works just fine, don't notice any difference in how it rides or the amount of dirt it collects. And that was couriering in all the snow and rain we've had. I will be moving on to the cheapest available vegetable oil next. I think what you lube your chain with is a lot less important than how much you use and how often you clean it. Use as little as possible and wipe off any excess and clean your chain at least every week and that will profit you more than any expensive so-called cycle specific dry or wet lube.
