[PRCo] fuel costs

[Fred Schneider]

There was a post by Mr. Holland last week and a subsequent one by Mr.  
Lybarger on the subject of fuel costs versus inflation.

For whose who did not hear it on Morning Edition on PBS radio this  
morning, the Lundberg survey reports that last week's gasoline price  
survey set a new inflation adjusted high, whipping the 1981 high by  
one penny.   I found a Sheetz station in Lancaster County last night  
where all three grades of gasoline were again under $3.00 a gallon.    
Now if only VW's 180 turbo engine liked low grade gasoline.    PBS  
also reported that the IRS approved 48.5 cent mileage reimbursement  
for the rest of the year.   I did not look at the IRS website to  
confirm same.
