tsk tsk tsk Jason.... you're stealing my conspiracy theories... lol. But
seriously, that may have a bit of merit. Remember the trucker strike and
blockades here the last time they increased the price of diesel? The power
of the truckers may have them reconsidering raising the price. And heaven
forbid we upset any large corporations that rely on diesel. We wouldn't
want to interfere with their profit margin. Ooops, there I go again ;-)
