1. demand has not really changed even with the increases in the price, so there is unlikely to be a huge increase in demand because the price goes down 18 cents.

2. the difference in price will make very little direct difference to the average consumer... but it makes a HUGE difference to trucking companies and their operating expenses, which then filters to prices for food, clothes, furniture and just about every other consumer item... where it does make a difference in the aggregate.
