Yes the price seems high to me, but I thought gas was too expensive when it went to a dollar a gallon back in the day.

Brent,
You hit the nail right on the head!
I recall a gruff old VP of Manufacturing at a company I was working at quiz a trainee on what we made at that plant. The naive kid ran through a list of all the products like like a happy little puppy. The old VP told him NO! WE MAKE MONEY! He too hit the nail on the head.

God Bless Capitalism!
