Nobody wants to hear it but, most folks that are working are making more money than they were the last time gas hit $4.00/gal. Whether it be due to overtime, better sales (Commisioned folks, higher hourly paid by employers to keep the help they have and atract additional labor force to meet demand, etc. It has'nt hit them yet.

My shop was full to the max and the parking lot was full of cars parked 3 deep at every space and many parked across and down the street on Saturday. Every time I got chance to step in the showroom it was full of folks. The main conversation was Gas $. It didn't slow down anyone's purchasing.



I’ve been wondering but too lazy to check how much the dollar value of 2007 compares with today as dollar.

I’m kinda guessing to be fair $5 dollar gas in today’s dollar compares to $4 gas in 2007.
