Mr. David Blevings:

I thank the Senator for the question. I do not think we have ever seen volatile pricing like this.

The pricing in the marketplace, as the representatives of the AA will probably tell the committee, is very competitive. Once a retailer in an area starts to move his or her prices up or down, the others will follow. It has been a difficult time for the retailers. I would not say there has been a time when retailers have purposely kept their prices high. At the end of the day, competitive forces will bring that product price down.
