Default Avgas Coming Down?

Locally ( in central Wisconsin), there is a historic and fairly accurate
correlation between the mogas pump price and the 100LL wholesale price when
prices are stable. Even though the taxes and the markups are different,
it's been easy to figure out what the 100LL price "should" be.

Example: If mogas at the pumps is 2.98, the wholesale 100LL tanker load
price will be around 2.98. Most FBO's prices will be close to $3.98. Our's
is currently $3.90.

This is just something that I've noticed locally and have been able to
determine by talking with the wholesale dealers. If I see a local FBO
charging more than $1 over the mogas pump price, he simply doesn't get my
business.

Here in Indianapolis I have seen Mogas go down from $3.20 a gallon to
$2.50 and it appears that it will keep on dropping.

On the other hand at my home base I just filled up for a trip and still
are paying $4.50 a gallon. Has anyone noticed if Avgas is coming down
too? Maybe it has to do with not making 100ll as often as Mogas. What
say you?
