go on firestone website and find a local dealer. Print out the online price and take it in. The online price is way cheaper than the store price and it is usually lower than any other place around. It ends up being around 50 bucks. And its interstate batteries as well.

damn i didn't even know about this one. that's a hell of a deal.

however, the warranty on the battery is only 18 months. most of the batteries at O'Reilly and other auto parts distributers are 2-3 yrs free replacement and 72-84 month pro-rated. 65 month only on the Interstate.

I think just over $100 you can get a yellow top off amazon.
