Since nobody is truly answering you: olive oil has the highest amount of monounsaturated fat content out of all dietary lipids. Monounsaturated fats are linked to lower risk of heart and cardiovascular disease.
On top of that, virgin (unfiltered) olive oil contains a high ammount of polyphenols, an anti-oxidant that is linked to 'prevention of cardiovascular diseases, cancers, and osteoporosis and suggests a role in the prevention of neurodegenerative diseases and diabetes mellitus'.
Vegetable oil, on the other hand, contains Omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids, which are harmful in excess. Olive oil does not contain these. In small portions, vegetable oil might be quite fine for you, but if you are planning on consuming at least 500 Kcals worth a day, you might harm yourself over time.
The truth about all nutrition is that there simply is a lot we don't know. However, there are things that we can be pretty sure about, and one of those is that olive oil is healthier than vegetable oil.
Be careful though: a lot of olive oil out there is mixed with other oils, or just entirely fake. Around 75-80% of virgin olive oils sold around the world, are in fact not actually virgin olive oil.
Surprisingly, costco's kirkland brand has been found to be entirely real, and is quite affordable and available on amazon. I put a shot in my protein shake every day.
At the end of the day it's up to you, but in my opinion a longer, healthier life is worth a little extra money.
Adding points of info:
Don't know why you don't just order oil online. But seriously, if i can't lay down on the couch what is the point?
