I think prices got raised here..... This shit is going to really hurt a lot of people considering that the base where I work is a depot, meaning they do heavy maintenance on aircraft that is outside field level. Things are going to be severely jacked up if this shit ain't fixed soon.

Neighbor just bought a new Tundra 4X4, with the V8...averages 9mpg....already wanting to sell it.
