2002-01-08 If you read the article, you would see that the demand was coming from the auto industry and not highway construction. In fact that point was specifically mentioned. It also mentioned some metric demand is for support items needed to service and repair imported metric goods.
But, with the recession, there could be some drop in demand. But, for every drop in demand for something metric, you know the drop is much greater for FFU. I'm sure with the demand for FFU decreasing, it has to be making FFU very expensive, which has to help push business more into the metric usage, just save cost and increase sales..
