[QUOTE]Originally posted by Gilbert B Norman: [QB] $2.599 at Citgo yesterday. The spread between Regular and Premium just hangs tight - $3.159. So far as passenger transportation goes, airlines will 'clean up'; the planes are full with or without the decline in gas prices - really, how many "fly or drive" decisions are made? Greyhound will have some hurt but not that much; all too many of their passengers do not have a roadworthy vehicle available. But their hurt will be offset with lower operating costs from the price of gas. Poor Amtrak is kind of the 'biggest loser" (what else is new). Of course operating expenses will be coming down in tandem with all transportation, but Amtrak's passenger base is far more likely to have a roadworthy vehicle available, and the "gas is cheap; let's just drive" option can be more readily available than for those making their way to the "dog pound" - and with their belongings in plastic garbage bags!!
