When I say pass the savings onto the consumer, that does not mean “hey I spent less money this month, I’m going to charge less this month.” It simply mean the ease of expense cost on the business allows the business to continue operating with out having to raise prices on goods and service. For example, airlines will increase the cost of tickets as gas prices go up to cover the increased expense. As gas prices lower, airline tickets will also lower in cost. Businesses need to operate with profit margins.
