I'm currently in central Florida. OJ prices here are crazy high (IMHO). Sheez, the damned fruit is grown here; transportation costs are MUCH lower than say markets that are hundreds (or thousands) of miles away. That and, the oranges grow on trees! It's not like they're made of gold. Then, as already mentioned, consumers are shorted on quantity. :villagers:
Same thought here in SoCal when I drive* buy a pumping oil field and then pay the highest prices in the nation (currently about $4 for mid grade - down from $4.50 or so) at the pump.
