I don't think we've gotten a chance to talk about this.

Anyway, I hadn't really gotten a chance to focus on that before.

Anyway, so as gas prices go up, obviously drivers start to feel pinched because they're responsible for paying for their own gas prices.

So that forces us to go to work with third parties to try to figure out how can we create better deals so that they can save 8, 10, 12, 15, 20 cents at the pump.
