O'REILLY GRANTED EARLY TERMINATION ON ANTITRUST WAITING PERIOD


     SPRINGFIELD, MISSOURI, January 9, 1998 - O'Reilly Automotive, Inc. (Nasdaq
- - ORLY) ("O'Reilly") announced today that in connection with its previously
announced tender offer to acquire all the outstanding shares of Hi-Lo
Automotive, Inc. ("Hi/Lo"), the U.S. Department of Justice and the Federal Trade
Commission have granted O'Reilly early termination of the waiting period under
the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976.

     Early termination of the waiting period indicates that those government
agencies do not intend to oppose the tender offer and related merger on
antitrust grounds.  Such early termination of the waiting period also satisfies
one of the conditions of the tender offer agreement between O'Reilly and Hi/Lo,
announced December 23, 1997.  The tender offer, for $4.35 per share, is still
subject to certain other conditions and is scheduled to expire at 12:00 midnight
New York City time, January 26, 1998, unless extended.

     O'Reilly is a leading specialty retailer and supplier of automotive
aftermarket parts, tools, supplies, equipment and accessories to both do-it-
yourself customers and professional mechanics and service technicians.  Founded
in 1957 by the O'Reilly family, the company currently operates stores within the
states of Missouri, Arkansas, Kansas, Oklahoma, Nebraska and Iowa.
