I agree.
No matter what they add its utility doesn’t change, it is the only item that works for what it does in my engine
I agree again.
and telling me that their additives actually mean my price has gone down when the price at the pump is UP is nothing more than irrational
In this case, I have to disagree.
If Obama mandates that they add banana flavoring to gasoline, increasing the cost by $1.00 per gallon, you can't blame that increase on inflation.
Did your cost go up? Absolutely!
It IS InflatED whether a “natural” inflation or not.
It seems that the source of inflatedness should be irrelevant regarding any higher amount the consumer has to pay.
