Wow, that is quite a dispairity between prices and geographies. It appears to be hit and miss and it's just a question of calling around to local dealerships. Good to know stuff!!

Did a little searching at CT.
Part# VS50426R (Fel Pro) - $171.98cdn/set for Probe and Millennia.
Part# VS50462R (Fel Pro) - $64.72cdn/set for 2.5L '96 Ford Contour, 2.5L '98 Ford Mystique.
Not sure if different part numbers equate to different gaskets but this is quite a price difference.

look it up for the ford probe at autozone or a place similar.
usually the ford probe is cheaper just b/c more were sold, even though its teh same part number.
You shouldn't have to spend more than $40 for a pair of valve cover gaskets

More usefull tidbits. Local Mazda quoted $37.00cdn / each bank. They also mentioned that some Mazda dealerships don't always purchase/sell Mazda OEM parts as in the case with VC gaskets. Rather, they sometimes stock/sell replacement parts with the consumer sometimes believing that everything sold by Mazda is OEM. This may explain the disparity in prices and quality at various dealerships.
