We're seeing volumes start to increase, and the sticker shock from its higher pricing has begun to wear off. The question is how quickly can the company return to 7-8 percent case volume growth and 15-20 percent [earnings per share] growth.

This is the sticker-shock you get. Even though it sounds outrageous on the face of it, without that we may not be able to bring this community back.

This covers the same area as HID. But with this, consumers don't have to get the sticker shock of HID.

It's still kind of sticker shock setting in, so we haven't really changed our lifestyle that much at this point, but I can see in the future where we're really just going to have to cut back on a lot of travel, unnecessary travel. The big problem that I see is not so much here at the pump. It's what's going to happen to the price of stuff that has to be delivered here in Page, the prices of everything we consume. Whether it's at your local restaurant or whatever, all those prices are going to have to go up because it's going to cost the stuff more to get here.

If the lower wholesale price is sustained, you can expect to start seeing at pumps a decline from $2.99 a gallon to about (the) $2.80s by Thursday.

shrugged its shoulder and said, 'We don't know.'
