. Or when filling your gas tank, don’t click, click, click to get that last drop of $3.49 gas…it could cost you a lot more that you might imagine…why you ask…coming up today

· Maybe you’ve been told don’t turn your air conditioner on over 35mph is that true or not, we need a few myths as well.

The biggest bailout in History????

Not!!!
The Biggest bailout in history happened 2000 years ago on a cross!

But what does this one mean for the car business?

What do other Divers do that drives you to Prayer?

Going to Raleigh the other day I was going the speed limit in the center lane and I couldn't help but notice all the cars zooming up behind me that could pass on either side charged to the right side to pass, WHY?

So I started to count and five out of the next seven that could have passed either way passed on the right???????

Dangerous, crazy...what do they think the police won't see them??? Do you not think a policeman would much rather give you a ticket passing on the right than on the left???

Low Oil prices and Fatality Rates

Is there a Link between low oil prices and Low Traffic Fatality annoucements this week?

How Do The Oil Companies Get Away With It?

Oil Prices drop to $115 a barrel, and thank goodness the dollar finally starts to rebound,
All the reasons we were told gas sky rocketed have reversed, Right!
But U.S. average gas price still 3.88 a gallon.
So, this wasn’t all that easy to find, but I had to know. When oil was at $115 a barrel before, what was the price of gas.

I’m going to guess you probably don’t want to hear this, but here goes.

Headline April 22nd Oil prices hit $122 a barrel from $113. How quickly did gas prices respond?
Gas prices at the time rise from $3.39 to $3.51. So naturally we are asking how is it that
A. we are paying $3.88 almost 50 cents more per gallon
Or B. The price can adjust up double digits in a week on a oil increase. Yet we see oil go down twice that much and get a few cents off.

An even scarier statistic:
1979 oil prices spiked to $106 a barrel adjusted for inflation.
Do you want to know the scary truth about what the price of gas was back then 1979…$2.20 again adjusted for inflation.

When oil prices go up it’s FIFO first in first out, meaning if I have to pay more for the oil I’m buying to refine, that means the oil I already have is worth more.
But, if oil prices go down then it’s LIFO last in first out the oil I still have in inventory to refine cost me $147 a barrel. And based on the correlation from oil price to gas price from 1979 somewhere along the way it will still holds just a little more profit and never come back down all the way.

You might be saying the Oil Companies can’t have it both ways.

But oh yes they do and there is nothing we can do about it.
Now that the oil companies have taught us to get used to gas prices over $3.00

Sales Pressure

Let's hear from the struggling Christian Car Sales People.

I know the car business, especially the domestics has really been hurt by the current state of things. Car sales are way down. In fact June caped the worst first half year sales since 1993.
Inventories are climbing, especially the low mpg vehicles. Dealers are paying big interest on everything but their most efficient 4cyl engines. Consumer demand for 4 bangers hasn’t been this high since the early 80’s. All this means the pressure is on and it’s on big time, as far to many dealers are facing losing their business if they don’t cut way back.

One of their biggest expenses is people Sales managers are feeling the heat, sell and sell at a high profit or lose your Job and worse lose your Job in a horrible Job market. Salesman knowing they are facing a similar demise and fewer sales are also pressured to sell each prospect and sell at a higher profit if the volume won’t be there.

If you have a prospect on a V8 sitting out there the dealer and sales manger are on your back 24/7.

I can hear the manager now, “What happened to your Guy on the Crown Vic? let’s get him on the phone. Take it over to his house if you have to.”
Problem is you’ve been hearing that every hour from the manager or the dealer since the guy left two weeks ago and on the tenth phone call he hung up on you and hasn’t taken your call since.

When the going gets this tough in the car market I can assure you the impatient Dealers and Sales managers resort to some pretty Questionable sales tactics.

I know you Christian sales people out there are being asked to do things, you know are wrong and put in that vise between losing your Job and compromising your integrity.

I was around in the 70’s when this happened and the 80’s as both a salesman and a sales manager.

So I feel your pain.
