Well, this one wasn't a surprise... Well, partly was.
AAFES Gas prices are going up. That makes sense... gas prices are up all over the world.
Here's the surprise: They're only going up 25 cents per gallon.
It seems the general in command of AAFES set a cap so that the AAFES pricing formula wouldn't kick in. It would have gone up 35 cents or 45 cents per gallon.
So, good for AAFES.
(Interesting aside: In statements about it's pricing guides, AAFES always says that one of the reasons for it's prices is the cost of administering the gas coupon program. However, whenever there's a noticeable jump in the price (e.g. 25 cents per gallon), AAFES recommends the use of... the gas coupon program.)

Good for that General. It's about time.
And I just can't wait for when the various panels empowered to hassle the oil companies about the prices get around to getting some data, assuming they ever do...
The members of the board back in Dallas remind me of the scandalous Enron Corp. Their want of increased profits far surpass the NEEDS of the US Service members who are daily sacrificing their lives.
It is incredible how they continue to raise prices so blatantly!
