I will agree that I didn't have an exact sense of how much it would pay, exactly, just that it would have to be big, because we gave so much.
We also were dealing with expensive fuel that looked to be going up endlessly, so much more than 20? Probably not.
Of course, I have no idea how long fuel will stay relatively suppressed.
Completely agreed, Sink! The x-factor is the company perhaps (and I mean really perhaps since the leaks are very much only a possibility) not wanting to pay what they thought would never happen.
