I am upset that we still paying $4.06 per gallon of gas on Okinawa Japan...
The article below is from the Stars and Stripes Jan 2007:
"AAFES Overseas Pump Prices to Better Reflect Current U.S. Market Conditions Beginning Feb. 1, 2007, all Army & Air Force Exchange Service (AAFES) OCONUS gas stations will adjust pump prices week-to-week based on the current week's U.S. Department of Energy (DoE) average price. The change is being made in response to concerns from military families who wanted to see the price at the pump updated more often than once a month. According to AAFES' Chief of Communications Lt. Col. Dean Thurmond, "Changing pump and coupon prices every seven days should provide prices that are more closely aligned to those in the states and help reduce the issues monthly pricing tended to create." The first week-to-week adjustment to pump prices at AAFES-operated stations in Germany, Turkey, Korea, Okinawa, Japan, Guam as well as the
United Kingdom, Azores and Netherlands will be made on Feb. 1. Thereafter, AAFES will begin modifying OCONUS fuel prices every Saturday morning at 12:00AM local time"
Bottom line is they would adjust the prices if AAFES is making a huge profit!!! But our gas prices have not gone down for 3 months in a row. Gas Price in the States today is as low as $1.80. The Hill AFB AAFES gas price is $1.90 while we here in Japan pay twice as much.

If they only adjust it once a month do you guys keep the prices lower for that month if we see it skyrocket? That would be a benefit for 29 days until it switches and jumps 45 cents. thats sucks that they do that. seems like a HUGE scam.
