I think you answered your own question,......no export,....no economy.....and my guess,...probably very few cars/trucks. Supply and demand dictates price.......and in the grand scheme of things in Angola,...there's no $$ and no demand. Just a guess...:huh:

Mac, I believe that is a very good guess. It amazes me to watch these gas stations around here. Price of oil jumps 50 cents a barrel, and the price of gas goes up a nickel. When it comes down 50 cents, it takes 3 days to lower the price a penny . Most stations hold 10,000 gallons or better, when the price of oil jumps they go up instantly even with the stock they purchased cheaper. I really DO NOT have a problem with high gas prices, if it wouldn't make everything else go up. Just my 2 cents worth.

New Vehicles = 38.8%
Personal care products = 53.1%
GASOLINE = 61.6%
Beer, Ale and Malt Bvg's at home = 76.3%
Meats = 86.4%
Food AWAY from home = 90.8%
ALL Items = 91.3%
Fish & Seafood = 99.4%
Airline Tickets = 117.7%
Physician's Services = 182.3%
Dental Services = 216.7%
Persc. Drugs and Med. supplies = 243.3%
College Tuition and Fees = 359.6%
Tobacco and Smoking Products = 393.9%
Sooo,...Gas, New Vehicles and Beer prices are still rising slower than the overall Avg....hhhmm....guess I'll go get a new truck,..fill it up...and get a 12pk. (and Thank God I don't smoke or have 2 kids in college!!) :wacko::blink:
