We certainly felt every % price increase! How about the same price decrease? 20% off of $4. - I should be paying $3.20 instead on $3.93, geeeeeee, I wonder who is making that money?

‘We certainly felt every % price increase!’

Not really, oil went from $70 to $147, gasoline went from $3.xx to $4.xx.

The price of a gallon of gas includes refining, shipping, taxes, overhead, etc. Figure for thumbnail calculations that this is about a buck a gallon. So 22% off of $3 is 66 cents off, plus the overhead means $3.34.

We're not there yet, but my locals are doing $3.65 and the good people of Carlisle PA are paying $3.37 right now.

September should see us around $2.80-$3.00, IMHO.
