[QUOTE="racerx, post: 59315"] Ddomino, good point. Let me try to clarify. In my analogy, I was describing competition between two separate companies, like Citgo vs. Chevron. While there are multiple grades of gas (Regular, Mid-grade, and Premium), there are multiple levels of service for transportation (ground, deferred air or 2nd Day, and overnight). Of course people will be willing to pay more for Premium gas because they are getting a better product (higher octane). The same goes for transportation people will pay more for NDA vs. Ground because the shipment will get there quicker. My point was that 99.9% of the population would chose Citgo regular gas priced at $3.00 per gallon over Chevron regular priced at $3.50 per gallon. Gas is gas. That is the main characteristic of a commodity. It is my fear that the view of our business is that transportation is transportation. Sorry to get back on topic.
