What I have seen is that the issue is now at the local economy level. In the urban areas costs have returned to pre-2020 prices. In rural areas the prices are still extremely high. Gas in a urban area is around $2.30 while in rural areas it’s $3.15. Milk prices are about a 0.75 a gallon difference as well. Life sucks if you live in the middle of nowhere, but it’s not bad if you live close to a urban area. The price difference appears to be due to transportation costs. It just isn’t worth the logistics to support rural communities anymore for most companies.
lol, urban prices have not gone down.
