I doubt that 2 cpm has really been achievable in the last few years.

Most folks reporting this kind of price were using e certs to discount the cost and often the runs start in Podunk with positioning costs not being factored in.

Add in oil at $138 and I think 4-5 cpm would be more realistic as a goal these days.

That said, 10 cpm is very high.
