the reason they do this is beacuse they are hoping it goes down soon. it happins to me all the time fill up from quater tank at 3.85, and the next day WHAMO! 3.65. this is why i do it. but im more like 20 at a time.
while i was laid off, i went from 180 up to 220 in just 5 months. my wife told me i was getting fat. i told her im not getting fat, i just expnading my portfolio to get me on the biggest loser. that way theyl pay me 250,000 to lose the weight.
if you ask for a lil more than you want for it, then let them chew you down to what you really want, that way you take the chance on getting a lil more than you want.
miles42, dont give. up the hunt just beacuse of a few peoples near misses. continue to do what you love. pass it on to generations yet to come. never give up something you love to do.
