Price of oil goes up, airline travel costs more...
Price of oil goes up, everybody who pays for fuel in their car takes a
pay cut!
Who pays for GD's fuel? Bet he doesn't dip into his wallet, except to drag out a corporate card (that we all pay for!).
It's not just oil, the flow on means that almost every consumer goods will cost more due to increased transportation prices.
So do you think that the prices will fall when the price of oil comes down? Not a chance, the shareholders wouldn't stand for it!
