There is something this article is missing- the dollar was much stronger than it is now.

“the dollar was much stronger than it is now?”

Inflation? dollar of product in 1999 cost a buck & a quarter in 2007...

Aver. price of unleaded was $1.25 & crude was under 10 bucks a barrel in 1/99...so gasoline has gone up 300% while crude has gone up 1000%...can’t blame that on the dollar which has only gone up 27% since 1999.

Bottom line, we need more product and we need it MADE IN USA...pass in on!!!

LAKERS WIN!

NYTOL!
