[PRCo] Re: Fuel costs continued

[Fred Schneider]

Old is when you can remember putting two dimes into a machine and two
pennies change were inside the cigarette pack!  That was just about fifty
years ago.  What you are telling me is that cigarette price inflation is
about twice that of the cpi for all commodities.   You are also reminding me
just how happy I am that I quit.  If I were still burning up money, it would
come to $3,600 a year.  Thanks for reinforcing my decision, Bob.  Now, if
only I knew how to get my wife to quit smoking.
