now this makes more sense to me because this is typical behavior of how
corporations work. one of the key goals of a corporation is to cut costs so
they can be competitive in the market and ultimatly lower the price of their
product. using a more expensive oil and raising the price of each truck by
55 cents would be the opposite. you cant look at it from the perspective of
55 cents per vehicle. it is that savings plus whatever other methods they
can come up with to save some money.
