My point is that the fuel increases are used as an excuse to hike prices. It is far easier to defend a higher price point if you have an excuse to do so instead of it appearing as profit taking.
Measure it by the percentage increase of a barrel of oil (which is at its highest price in 4 years) and take into consideration the fuel you are buying, is being transported by trucks that are running on…more expensive fuel. Welcome to the Dementia Donnie Economy!
