Iggy,

I enjoyed filling my tank for less that 20 bucks (small car), then I went into the big
grocery store and noticed my savings had been grabbed by cost increases in food.

Btw, how is a quart of no-name motor oil priced at 2.89 a quart with gas is down to 2.22
in my area?


Good question. I think that deflation has not yet materialized.
