Matt,

Are you saying that winter is a good time of year to buy a coach?

I'm not Matt, But I might be able to answer.

From what I have seen, the normal yearly price fluctuations, for most of the country, bottom out around the end of January. (The Christmas bills are due...) They are highest at the end of the spring due anticipation of higher summer demand.

But...

I haven't seen the prices fluctuations as large as they where during the years before the economy tanked.

Greg,

If you have been looking, then you know it is a good time. It will get to be a great time when the Cap & Tax bill pushes all motor fuel over 5$/gal. Then you will be able to get anything for a song. It will be particularly good if you can sit on it for a while. If the economy comes back and we work on developing energy supplies at home, Katy - Bar the Door.

We are currently exporting motor fuels as finished product because the prices and the economy are discouraging travel. There are also something between 4.5 and 6E6 fewer people going to work everyday, and they aren't buying fuel to do it. There are reports of Florida parks that are usually SRO that are now advertising for overnighters to stop in.

Opinions are mine and based on facts and reality, they do not necessarily reflect the views of any the staff or management.

Matt

I think you're hitting the nail on the head.

I wonder what the Chinese are going to rename the Keystone XL pipeline?
