Comment on previous prediction: There was no price hike last week, and prices keep falling, so the prediction was CORRECT.
Sunday, January 20, 2008, 11:30AM: By my calculations, wholesale prices correspond to retail prices in a range between $2.87 and $3.09. With prices as low as $2.80 in the area, we’ve got a price hike coming either Monday or Tuesday, to ask much as $3.09, but, if the retailers feel generous, then just to $2.99.
