The stat line goes like this: Fair price: ( $1.9374+$0.6413 ) = $2.5787 Average selling price – fair price: ($2.537-$2.5787)= Margin over cost + profit: -$0.0417 In other words, for Michigan, you are selling at more than a negative 4 cent margin by my numbers. In Indiana that is more than 6 cents, and that’s [...]

Yesterday the Chicago spot bounded up to $2.12, sparking the belief in me that Speedway should spike up in all states it was in. Today the Chicago spot dropped back down to $2.07. This puts us in a very tricky area. Michigan is well above the spike threshold, about 4 cents. Indiana on the other [...]
