Because of higher prices, things like one-day tours to the neighbor islands have declined. Hopefully, if we begin seeing more seats and lower fares, some of that activity will come back.

Frank Haas

It was a perfect storm for gold today. Lower dollar. Higher oil prices. Base metals rallying. Commodity interest across the board. Funds are not afraid of buying on new highs.

David Meger

Consumers don't like high prices, ... That's what they notice at the pump and out of their pocketbook.

John Cole

High oil prices and the emergence of a number of new players on the world stage - not just China and India but also Russia and even Iran - have made it possible to play the major powers off against each other.

Klaus Schwab

Someone has said $1 million, but no one knows. But five to six acres of oysters is a lot of oysters. It all depends on how many people will be fishing out there, too, and what the prices are.

Jim Pierce

Most market analysts are holding on to their economic or corporate projections while adopting a wait-and-see attitude to assess if oil prices will remain at current high levels.

Carmen Lee

The prices vary a little because we bid a year ago. So, we've had a hurricane since then, and that has driven prices up, so that is not surprising.

Bob Brownell

The market is working. The prices are falling.

Red Cavaney

It's really a combination of prices and weather. Historically, if we have had good weather for planting and if prices are ahead of the average for the last few years, that has encouraged more corn acres.

Robert Wisner

The environment we've been in has been challenging. There was an impact on consumers with higher gas prices and the overall challenges of a turbulent marketplace. The team at 7-Eleven rose to the occasion and responded to the changing needs of the customers.

Jim Keyes

When demand exceeds supply, prices go up. Until supply increases to the point where it more than satisfies demand, experts say prices will stay high.

Leigh Morris

As people live with them and maybe do some math, and if prices stay at the premium stage, you're just going to see sales slow.

Rebecca Lindland

This deregulation frenzy was predicated on low gas prices, and when gas prices go up it does not work. In some ways these filings are a good thing because they show that there is no guarantee that prices will not keep going up.

Janee Briesemeister

We're getting killed on natural gas prices. It's costing us $18 a decatherm now, and four years ago it was $3 a decatherm.

Andy Rogers

Land costs are getting high, but are still cheap compared to California, or even Sun Valley, where an acre of land can cost $1 million. But it's still pushing housing prices up.

John Church

That's a prime example of where higher energy prices can rein in core [non-energy] inflation.

John Lonski

The principal told me if I bought a house in San Pedro, the job was mine, so I bought the house. I couldn't buy one now with the prices, so I felt pretty lucky.

Bill Seixas

We're working with the operators to try and ensure that they're vigilant. So it is an issue and we see it continuing to be an issue as long as the gas prices are as high as they are.

Richard Collins

We could see higher prices by the end of this month, and almost certainly by this summer.

Dave Carlson

Most likely the higher prices will slow growth, ... But there is the growing threat that we get a combination of slower growth and higher inflation.

Mark Zandi

Prices are high. I hate to see it when a shipment comes in and I see what it's going to cost a student because you look at it and think, how can it be that much?

Jennifer Davis

You got to wake up and smell the coffee, because it's going to hit, and these gas prices are going to go up, and up, and up, and up.

David Norman

If crude oil prices keep on rising, the chances that consumption is going to be hurt further down the line rises. That means the Fed could be more gradual in raising rates.

Peter Kretzmer

They will get better prices because of bigger volumes.

John Strand

Creative has to find a way out. It's a victim of the volatility in flash memory prices.

Patrick Yau

Prices have gone up in the U.S. but for us at least we have not seen a change in buyer behavior.

Helmut Panke

Oil prices have become certainly a threat to the world economy.

Rodrigo Rato

The fact that natural gas prices are going down now is obviously good for us and the customers and what we have been hoping for.

Tom Henley

I think a lot of people believe this is not a spike in petroleum prices that we're seeing, but probably a floor. That gives an enduring, financial incentive to develop these coal-to-liquid plants. I think we finally have all the circumstances in place.

Luke Popovich

The dollar will continue to run lower, but it's not the end of the world. A weak dollar benefits about a third of the companies in the S&P 500 and oil prices are moving in the right direction.

Art Hogan

Consumers end up getting more products with better prices and greater value.

Anthony Noto

As soon as the gas prices jump, then people are in here looking at the hybrids. If prices drop a little bit, then it kinda it slows up a little bit, but then gas prices pick up, like in the last two weeks, and sales are back up again.

Bill Spencer

Although we expect August to be a tough month, we are filling the pipeline plus launching advertising and marketing initiatives that will give consumers the message that we have the best products at the best prices.

Ronald Zarrella

Given the drop in gold prices and base metal prices I would see the upside to be quite limited for the Australian dollar today.

Besa Deda

But the key here is really going to be guidance. Everyone is looking for signs of the rolling over of profit growth, although not as much as the Fed or higher energy prices might indicate.

Jack Ablin

I don't go any place now that I don't have people asking me what are we going to do about high gas prices.

Glen Casada

The hype is off the housing market. Prices are high. Interest rates are climbing. Housing needs to cool down so the market can return to normalcy.

Jay Butler

We think the recent surge in fuel prices greatly increases the likelihood of a bankruptcy filing within the next two months.

Michael Linenberg

We had a very solid first quarter and are pleased with our performance. This is particularly true given the rapid increase in raw material prices and costs that we experienced.

John Conway

The oil prices will break through 80 U.S. dollars per barrel recently.

Niu Li

Higher energy prices have taken their toll of hopes for top-line growth. 'Cost-cutting' as a driver of earnings is back on the radar screen.

David Bowers

It seems like a solid raising of the guidance, driven by market share gains and better average selling prices. It's an impressive performance.

Paul Hanson

You can't have these sort of prices without a substantial effect on demand.

Gary Ross

Gas prices could easily hit $3 per gallon this summer. That threshold was already reached last year.

Jim Rink

What explains higher prices is the market, ... Demand has grown in other regions of the country, but with respect to existing resources, production is not increasing.

Bob Howard

I don't think that you will find that you can get cement at the spot prices that you could before. However, at the 15 per cent tariff there is cement out there that will be competitive in this market, but when it gets into the market, market forces will take over and we are prepared to defend our market.

Anthony Haynes

Gasoline prices have really come off in the last month and a half. That effect has really come off.

Michael Mcnamara

The inventory build was two-to-three times greater than expected, and oil prices are backing off.

James Wicklund

Big institutions are holding back their own capital. They're looking for an upside catalyst for stock prices. Any activity on the mergers and acquisition, buy-back or dividend fronts, mixed with good news out of energy or the Fed, would be a catalyst to bring the big institutions back into stock market.

John Augustine

There's no limit to what they could charge for this high-speed lane, and they could make the slow-speed lane as slow as they want. There's no way to know today what the prices might be, but it could be anything, and that's the fear.

Rich Tehrani

The average residential customer is paying roughly twice as much for natural gas as he did in 1999. These high prices strain the budgets of all homeowners and, even worse, many low-income households must choose between heat and other life necessities.

Thomas Skains

It's been the fuel costs that have hurt farmers more than anything. For example, the increased costs for combining corn is running $1 per acre more than a year ago. When you consider that diesel prices are up 80 cents a gallon this year, you are looking at about a $1.60 per acre increase up to 1,000 acres sometimes. There has been as much as $1,000 increase, just on fuel over the last year.

Bob Wells

The pressure on prices may be relieved a little bit, but not a whole lot.

Ralph Kauffman

The hope is, you have more competitors, more customer choice, and hopefully in the long run, that will in fact mean lower prices.

John Strand

Our goal here is to provide low prices on high-quality products and excellent services to consumers in Massachusetts.

Alice Moore

Natural gas supplies have been severely disrupted in North America and the shortages took heating oil and crude prices higher.

Keiichi Sano

It's well known that many pop-up ads are close to bargain basement prices now.

Charlie Buchwalter

We thought with our fast-casual quality at fast-food prices that there was really an opportunity to expand the brand.

Jeff Seeberger

Their target consumer is really feeling the effects of the higher gas prices.

Patricia Edwards

We do not anticipate that there will be any major shortage, but prices will be high.

Martha Rowe Mitchell

It was something else to see how the great fans of motocross responded in to our national emergency in this time of need. With the attendance down due to the gas prices and our amateur races being cut back, we were amazed with the amount of money we were able to raise.

Tim Cotter

Firms are a bit concerned about things like oil prices and US growth but actually the change (in firms' expectations) is quite small so I think broadly they're looking for more of the same.

Peter Morgan

The federal Liberals seem content to let gas prices rise as the government rakes in higher and higher taxes from the price increases.

John Duncan

Our strong seller's market has been replace by a more balanced one that will help stabilize home prices.

David Wluka

In terms of performance of vehicles there will be no difference. Where [ motorists] will see a difference is in price. It's impacting prices nationwide.

Mantill Williams

Honda, which achieved profit increases amid higher fuel prices and U.S. interest rates, will become even more popular following the stock split.

Shigemi Nonaka

Prices are being driven up by hedge funds, which are buying platinum because its fundamentals are looking good. Platinum has been in deficit for the past six years, and it's expected it will be in deficit this year.

Yingxi Yu

Competition promotes consumer choice, lowers prices and encourages innovation. This change will help government agencies choose from the best products at the fairest prices for American taxpayers.

Sue Snyder

This dominant position implies difficulties for promoting more competition and, as a result, for lowering prices.

Guillermo Ortiz

Tech earnings are improving, and the reality is that stock prices always move ahead of fundamentals. That's what they do. They are predictive instruments.

Todd Campbell

They average about 5 miles per gallon, depending on the route and the load, they change oil about every 5,000 miles and have 18 tires which are predominantly petroleum products. When oil and diesel prices go up, there is a significant impact on the industry.

Kaylee Brown

High liquidity and lower interest rates should attract more volume. There's good value at these prices.

Nelson Ortiz

There is no need to really increase production now because the prices are stable at $25 and we are always here to meet the demand required in the market.

Chakib Khelil

Supply isn't going up as much as demand so the prices of metal, especially that of copper and zinc, are going up.

Sally Yeo

The major factor driving this improvement was a dramatic 66 percent increase in storage onion prices. This pushed the value of sales for dry storage onions to $73.4 million, about 65 percent higher than the 2004 figure.

Larry Burt

The economy may not withstand higher interest rates. Core prices should have a stable gain of around 0.8 percent before increasing rates.

Shinji Kunibe

Overall the storm will hurt, but it's certainly not the same as the impact of rising oil prices, ... a large effect.

Philip Baggaley

Really what we're providing is a basic public health service. The fact of the matter is, dirty laundry has to be done. It's not something that can be rationed or put off until energy prices come down.

Brian Wallace

The crude inventory figure is pushing up oil prices and that is hurting the markets. That is preventing investors from being too euphoric.

Cummins Catherwood

Lower prices are likely to stimulate increased demand, but to what degree is unknown.

Gary Cooper

Prices are going to go up, period, end of discussion. Energy costs are going through the roof. We still don't know the extent of the impact on building aggregates.

John Norris

Historically, we literally have not seen an impact with gas prices. Tourism has actually gone up over the last few summers.

Charlie Clark

The prices are out of this world.

Victor Lazarovici

As a company, we believe that competition is a positive thing. Competition brings better service and better prices to the community.

Kevin Mccall

We're realigned the prices now to fit Tarboro.

David Palakanis

We still think commodity prices are at their peak and will gradually come off, but we've just pushed out the timing a little bit.

Jarrod Kerr

Crude oil prices took a jump after the attempted attack. Crude is the biggest factor in determining gas prices, and $2 per barrel in one day is quite a hike.

Cheri Cihak

Anybody can cut prices, but it takes brains to make a better article.

Philip Armour

If the prices are getting high enough, then people might ride the buses.

Rebecca White

We estimate that 1.8 million barrels per day of consumption must be squeezed out next year through the impacts of higher prices.

Jeffrey Rubin

With the increased numbers of private and corporate jets that come through here, we feel that with competitive prices and good service we will find our niche in the (fixed-base operations) market.

Shaen Tarter

People are starting to lower their prices, and we need that. Things just got too out of hand.

Patti Moore

There is still concern about distillates. Once a big batch of cold weather moves in, prices will surge.

Rick Mueller

Prices aren't cheap but if you go before the summer peak, you can save 25 percent to 30 percent on air fares.

Anne Banas

Prices could remain at or above $38 for the next one to two years.

Agbeli Ameko

Next week, when things have calmed down again, we'll see prices fall due to falling wholesale prices.

Ray Holloway

The market gets used to certain prices. But if we get to $80 oil, that is new to the market and something that attracts attention.

Quincy Krosby

The rating agency actions have reinforced a message to investors that fiscal consolidation in both countries is a trend and will drive asset prices higher. So markets are reacting to this.

Tim Condon

When policy-makers have already witnessed a significant move in asset values, and are confident in what that move means for the outlook, it should be prepared to adjust policy accordingly. The central bank must be responding to its assessment of what an already observed movement in asset prices will mean for output and inflation.

Timothy Geithner

Falling prices raise concerns that growth in the industry will slow, hurting earnings.

Song In Ho

The API report was a big positive for crude prices. That was the catalyst for us going back over $30 a barrel.

Tom Parker

Anything 40-inch and above is still quite expensive for the consumers. We are making very active investments to bring the prices down.

Chu Woosik

If people expect flash prices to continue to fall, it will inevitably lead to slower orders.

Patrick Yau

Investor sentiment is recovering on lower oil prices.

Lee Kun Hak

Energy has been a hot sector for a while with oil and gas prices up, so (CME) is responding to what the market wants.

Meghan Crowe

Building approvals are running at an annual negative pace, while house prices for the major cities declined.

Michael Jansen

The above strategies have helped to improve the gross profit of the group and helped to maintain average selling prices of products, further consolidating the group's leading position in the market.

Yang Yuanqing

The underlying fundamentals for both gold and platinum remain strong, which should keep prices relatively buoyant.

George Glynos

There's been concern about how much higher oil prices will be felt by consumers, but people are now more optimistic that the year end will play out just fine.

Barbara Marcin

I only earn $560 a month and of that, over $200 a month goes to my bus fare. I have a 15-year-old and a 17-year-old who also need to get to school. If they change the prices and take away transfers, there are going to be a lot of days missed. I already see no money at the end of the month.

Linda Cox

As brand-name-drug makers raise prices, generic-drug makers will find room to boost their prices to compete for market share.

Alan Sager

I think we have to ask this administration, and the President specifically, about using their political capital now to stand up for the American consumer who is getting clobbered by these gasoline and oil prices.

Ron Wyden

Mobile phone prices are only going one direction, and that's down. Telstra faces a lot more competition in the wireless market, so the margins are nowhere near as impressive as those for fixed-line.

Charlie Lanchester

All in all, commodity prices are higher and we're seeing some strength in the Canadian dollar.

Jeremy Friesen

Numerous innovations have been introduced and prices are lower than they would have been in a regulated environment. Market forces are having the desired effects of providing consumers with more control and more choices at prices lower than they would have been under regulation.

Ray Perryman

Everybody started to raise their prices — the first real estate boom. She describes it.

Debi Murray

I've been waiting a long time for it. They give you large portions and they have reasonable prices and good service.

Bob Fink

When I go out with the stick to change the prices on the marquee, people honk, cuss and make gestures when they drive by. I just take it in stride.

Jason Bell

Their comparative lightness translates into greater fuel efficiency, a gain brought home by the ongoing spike in gasoline prices. As alternatives to the internal combustion engine get closer to commercialisation, lightweight materials will continue to be preferred over metals.

Michael Valenti

Most analysts with a high price are with the bigger U.S. investment houses. Low prices come from Canadian analysts who have covered us longer.

John Currie

Why should we have to be worrying about what the prices are going to be from week to week?

Bill Green

CLS decided for 2006 and beyond to significantly increase the purse for the USA Nationals and go unsanctioned to guarantee our fans will see all the best dirt late model drivers in the country. Plus, we're not increasing ticket prices.

Steve Kaufman

The money is just rolling into them as the prices go up.

Bill Green

Microsoft giving away its browser is a huge, huge problem, one that is extremely difficult for Netscape to overcome, ... I think the stock is overvalued, even at these prices.

Bruce Smith

Slashing prices is not the only option.

John Gifford

High crude oil prices had the biggest impact on the trade balance. Exports also grew but their growth was offset.

Tatsuya Torikoshi

There was a little grousing. We hadn't looked at (gas prices) in awhile.

Don Bell

Fuel prices would have to go to European levels for that to happen. If it stays (in the $3 to $4 per gallon range) it will result in some market shift. It has to.

Robert Lutz

Technically, gold prices could also go higher because all historical barriers have been broken.

Tanvir Abid

The price of crude oil is a big reason pump prices are in record high territory.

Geoff Sundstrom

Most will boost their prices over a period of time. They'll do it daily.

Dave Carlson

Don't just take the first policy you find. Insurance is a very, very competitive business. Insurance companies are doing everything they can to compete for you and try to bring prices down.

Mark Kulda

When we had abundant cheap power there is less incentive to develop alternative sources of power. Now that we face scarce electricity supplies and much higher prices, that is changing.

Scott Bosse

When we did our September forecasts, we were already in an environment where oil prices were high and were expected to remain high. So by and large, so far, the European economy is still on track.

Axel Weber

It would make sense that we'd start to see prices fall now that the storm has had less impact than was feared.

Sean Comey

Some of our test wells are looking good. Natural gas prices continue to go up. Demand is going to increase, and supply is short because it's finite.

Mark Bottrell

The market dynamics at the time we were considering those cases distorted the market and resulted in prices that were probably not going to be sustained through the course of this year.

Dan Ebert

It's a tough moment. This has become a tough market, ... the ones that aren't waiting for oil prices and interest rates to go down.

Jim Cramer

We've never been in a market like this, where gasoline prices are cheap. It's a world that's very hostile to small cars.

Maryann Keller

Over those 15 to 25 years, prices for everything from milk to eggs to gasoline have jumped 30 to 150 percent, while our prices have actually declined with rate reductions.

Scott Cisel

Share prices were weaker as many investors are keenly awaiting the machinery orders (figures).

Hideo Mizutani

Because we have more inventory right now prices are starting to come down. The market is re-balancing itself. It was out of balance there for a while and we had too many buyers and not enough inventory and now it's the other way around.

Brett Ellis

It doesn't need it. We can tolerate prices significantly less, but obviously it's a big boost to come at the higher prices.

Jim Buckee

A strong economy causes an increase in the demand for housing; the increased demand for housing drives real-estate prices and rentals through the roof. And then affordable housing becomes completely inaccessible.

William Baldwin

The Fed is concerned that higher energy costs may give an adverse impact on growth rather than posing a risk to faster inflation. Producer prices also showed latent inflationary pressure eased.

Hidehiko Maejima

The prices are better on the small deals because they are off the radar screens of the large pools of capital.

John Orrico

It's nothing new for HP to cut prices and Dell can still make good money in desktops even though margins have come down.

Thomas Carpenter

This year we've been so fortunate with the weather. Even with the rise in gasoline and oil prices, it hasn't made the anticipated dent that we thought, which is a good thing.

Suzanne Esterman

Growth would be higher, inflation would be lower (and) employment would be higher, if we didn't have these energy prices. But it hasn't been a deal-breaker.

John Mitchell Mason

The expectation is that (gasoline) prices will be higher (in May-June) than they were a year ago, but how much higher? Who knows.

Janet Ray

The perception that there's trouble in the Middle East drives oil prices higher.

Dan Gillespie

If you're a landlord, you don't need to preserve your collateral. You just flip it on the land prices alone.

Jonathan Rosen

The Internet creates a whole new market and almost a whole new pricing. You have a series of prices lined up side by side.

Richard Davies

Energy stocks will fall more if oil prices pull back further.

Gordon Higgins

Ultimately, it will be higher prices for the consumer.

Charles O. Holliday

I know they're doing it because they (gas prices) are high and everything, but they should just stay home.

Shirley Turner

We have seen home prices in places like Florida and California. Because of that, we thought it was going to take years before we could buy one.

Lisa Padilla

Going forward, [sales] volumes will be dampened by high gasoline prices and other energy costs, now absorbing a record share of disposable income.

Carlos Gomes

I'm just like everybody else. I'm tired of paying high gas prices at the pump. … This is a way to give consumers and businesses and school districts immediate relief from high gas prices.

Jeff Harris

Gas has come off those higher prices since it looks like it's only going to be a temporary thing.

Bob Yawger

The universal hold used to be $1, ... Obviously that figure is rising along with gas prices.

Chris Roberts

There's no doubt that as ethanol use and ethanol production continues to grow that's going to put an upward pressure on corn prices.

Monte Shaw

The decline in the prices paid component is good news. It looks as if we're seeing some moderation in pricing pressures, but not a significant drop.

Gary Thayer

If there is a low supply, prices will obviously increase. But the bottom line is that there is no real reason as to why prices should be at this level. There has not been a shortage of oil since 1979. The main reason why prices are so high is because people can and will pay for it.

Ralph Bombardiere

We suffered losses because the increase in the domestic price of oil products was much lower than the rise in international oil prices.

Wang Guoliang

The storm is going to cause gasoline prices in California to go up.

David Hackett

The supermarket competition is very intense in Central Pennsylvania, and that competition helps control prices passed on to the consumer.

Dennis Curtin

Supply and demand is what drove up the prices. Demand was growing, and supply was staying relatively flat.

David Park

If you've got declining gas supply and people start burning more oil, then that's one thing, and then you've also got limited supply from Iraq. Suddenly there's a bit of supply news, and a bit of demand news, and it's the combination of those two that's pushing prices up.

Andrew Harrington

The panic component of the gasoline prices should drop back down to something more in line with oil prices.

John Tobin

Now there's going to be buying power over these plans and it's going to force the prices down, so it's going to effect their profit line a little bit on the bottom line. It's going to cut off a little of their profits, if there's the competition we think there's going to be.

Jim Kolbe

Gas prices are moderating somewhat, but they're still bouncing all over the place.

Don Olsen

I'd say housing is overpriced, but whether or not that implies that prices are going to crash is a different question.

Alan Gin

Not all chicken prices are down. We export a lot of chicken parts, but we export very little white meat, that's where most of the prices have stayed down.

Brian Latham

Climbing oil prices and the problems with climate change make it ill-advised to sink more money into fossil fuels.

Jeff Mikulina

We do very little advertising -- most of our business is through word of mouth. We're a nonprofit, so our prices are very low. We're not here to make money, we're here to give people decent employment and good wages.

Rosemarie Dougherty

The biggest uncertainties before today were operational costs and iron ore prices. With costs out of the way, all eyes are now on the iron ore outcomes.

Rob Clifford

Under the current plan, electricity prices are going to rise by $3 billion a year and an average of 25 per cent per year.

Adam White

For schools and other government buildings, it is essentially important in times of tight budgets and high fuel prices to focus on energy savings.

Michael Durand

There's no question that prices are higher for these companies, but we are sometimes best served acquiring technologies no matter what the price. Unfortunately, we can't know if we've overpaid until later.

Greg Maffei

Part of the run-up in oil prices was a reflection that there was a lot of monetary stimulus in the market. Taking some of that out of the market could take the air out of oil prices.

Thomas Mayer

The market is under pressure due to oil prices, Iran and concern about prospects for more interest rate hikes from the Fed.

Jim Fehrenbach

We have generally not tried to forecast fuel price changes. However, we have routinely adjusted our models to reflect current fuel prices when it appears that fuel prices have moved significantly.

Bob Mcadoo

Metals prices continued to climb and overall, our operations have performed well, resulting in another quarter of outstanding financial result.

Derek Pannell

At the end of the summer driving season heading into fall, we should get some relief from high gasoline prices.

Brian Hicks

If the banks didn't want a lot of this scrutiny we would see prices pretty close to cost in these markets (PPI), and we're not seeing that.

John Fingleton

The question is: How high are prices going to go and how high will they spike? That will help us understand the broader implications to the economy, to the region and to the nation.

Ross Gittell

We are looking at that request in the light of the changes of the fuel prices. We have made no decisions but simply looking at it.

Douglas M. Steenland

We've had a pull-back in gold and oil prices, and surprise surprise, oil and gold companies are off, that's the Canadian market.

Julie Brough

We're in an environment where share prices are trading ahead of valuations.

Rob Mercer

Prices are rising, but I think the message still has to go across that chicken and eggs are safe.

Shashi Kapur

For the S&P/TSX it's all a function of where the prices of oil and metals like gold go.

Patricia Croft

U.K. May PPI data are unlikely to move markets markedly, in spite of the large rise in input prices, since this was largely due to the rebound in oil prices.

Neil Parker

That's one of the reasons why states are looking at gas prices-to know how fuel companies set fuel prices.

Brian Caldwell

Our problem was we got our [prices] a little high and we had to bring them back in line. We had a decline in cereal shipments that was offset by price realisation on cereals, so our overall cereal sales were flat.

Steve Sanger

Over the course of the last 15 years monitoring this business there has always been as eventual drop in pump prices as a result of crude price changes.

Michael Ervin

There are lots of factors that go into why prices are going up.

Joseph Curran

If fuel prices persist at current levels then the potential exists for the current year's performance to be around 40% below 2005.

John Palmer

We didn't increase any of our prices this year.

John Stanton

The general market earlier in the month had one of the steepest declines since April. But energy prices started falling. By late October, markets came back very strong.

Gary Schlossberg
