Millk and Gas Usually Go Hand in Hand

Is gas going down in other parts of the country? Here, the gas has gone down to $1.69 though it can vary up to twenty cents depending on the gas station and the part of town. Still, a long way from tipping the scales at close to $4.00

I understand stuff in the stores are still high priced because a fuel charge was already added to those things. Yes, I get that. The stuff had already been driven here, driven there. But you can't tell me that milk--which is deliviered DAILY--is still having fuel charges added into the overall price. I talked to a truck driver friend (no, he doesn't deliver milk) of mine and he said his boss has dropped their fuel surcharge.

So why am I still paying $4.00 for a gallon of milk? Way back when gas aveaged $1.80 per gallon for several years, milk was also very close to that price.

Are stores thinking we are so used to paying this price that it's OK to continue charging it? I ask you, what happened when gas begins to go up again? Will a fuel charge be added on top of the already hefty four dollar price tag?

Milk is only one example. Don't take my word for it. Check out the prices on fresh meat and bread next time you go shopping and DEMAND to know why all these things are still priced for four dollar gas!
