Oh, I agree. I'm surprised it hasn't slowed things until now. Gas prices have gone up a whopping .50/gal in only 2 or 3 weeks. This is going to put a major dent in people's wallets if it doesn't subside.

As an aside, I just heard today that Winnebago (the RV people) are idling their plant. Gas prices are high, and demand is down. So at least on business is getting pinched, partially because of gas prices.

" I'm surprised it hasn't slowed things until now."

Actualy i suspect it has, I think it'll be onthe MSM around the end of november when we start seeing Q3 and the numbers from projections on Q4 of the year. I think we'll see that Grenspans rosey picture isn't so rosey.

i can vouch on that. I'm training to be a route manager for a food home delivery service (due to company policy will remain unnamed but its the biggest frozen food home service on the planet) and the guy i have rode along with has seen drops in orders with jumps in the price....
