I was getting tired of hearing about "deflationary pressures" and
the "lack of inflation", when all the stuff I buy was going up. Well,
finally I saw a price DROP on something I buy. Motor oil went from
$9.50 for a 5 quart bottle down to $8.00 !!! Woowee !! Not
kidding.

Prices are "sticky". So perhaps the lubricating quality of the oil
had something to do with it.... :)
