Fuel Prices & Car Counts

Your right, I was just discussing this topic the other day. A few years ago when gas topped $4 here in Illinois, actually the number was $4.25 according to a good friend of mine that operated gas stations, people quit buying gas. Only buying what they "had" to have. He said it was just like the pump was shut off. Sales dropped dramatically. Now when it hit $5 no change people keep buying. More money, more places to go, just happy this pandemic thing is over, I don't know, you tell me. I can yell you this, at $5 for diesel that's $1 a mile towing, fuel cost only, our operation is only going to the closer races and the multi race events if only for the principal of it.
