Without getting into the physiological reasons for why/why not people prefer bio, I was hoping someone had an explanation for the sudden price hike (like some new tax or whatever)
So I guess this fool is $60+ bucks shorter...

Different fuel changes the combustion characteristics so the sound is different. Question is whether it translates to anything more than that that is quantifiable. IOW, for $2 more, will you give me that much more mileage or will you extend my engine life by that much more? If not, the numbers don't add up.
Of course not. I surely don't want you to think of that at the pump to avoid the sticker shock.
Could be a test. See if you will still purchase it at this price and see if you bite. So I hike up the price but if you think it is worth it, you buy it. At the end of it, I see if I make less profit or not based on sales. Maybe I sell less volume but if I still make more profit, why not?
I'm afraid so. I asked the bio shop in Madison why I would be willing to buy into their membership for $150 for the privilege of paying 75 cents more per gallon than dino. They said that if their sales fell and they wanted to be more competitive, they would drop the price but at this time, they don't feel they have to or words to that effect. Bottom line is "I have a fool for a client so I don't have to be competitive till he wises up and stops reading the slogans.".
