OT: GAS PRICES ARE INSANE.....

OK, I'M FURIOUS. GAS PRICES ARE TOO HIGH. PFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFT TO THOSE WHO MADE IT THIS WAY!!!! MY QUESTION IS: HOW MUCH ARE YOU PAYING FOR GAS IN YOUR AREA? HERE IN MOUNT PLEASANT, LAND OF THE SOARING EAGLES AND CMU, I PAY 2.89 A GALLON FOR REGULAR, 2.98 A GALLON FOR UNLEADED MIDGRAGE AND A WHOPPING 3.09 A GALLON FOR UNLEADED PREMIUM. I'M BUYING A HORSE. THAT'S IT.

Yep I agree !!!!! It just went up to $2.89 per gallon here in Alma too !!! Although the Admiral was still at $2.79 per gallon. Peace and love!!

I managed at speedway in waterford, up until last month, so i'll tell you how this goes. every once in a while, usually once or lately, twice a week the company emails all the speedways and tells them a price to go up to....usually about .20 cents. so at 9a.m. they go up and leave it like that til 3pm. At 3, the managers drives around the area and sees what they got everyone else to go up to....they then put it into the computer and corporate emails back with a new price, usually a penny cheaper than everyone else. They call this restoration. Now what really gets me is this....the speedways here only use marathon gas, which is american gas, and has the only refinery here in michigan. So all these excuses you keep hearing about the war and hurricanes is not the whole story, we can all thank speedway for the gas prices. By the way, i filled up today at 2.62 a gallon, and it wasn't from speedway. Hugs Linda

From my point of view you are pretty lucky. I live across the border in Ontario. Today gas is at $0.99 litre, which works out ot $3.74 a gallon and that is for regular unleaded. i won't even mention the mid grade and premium prices - they are outrageous. All the best.

Well, I live in Chelsea and the truck stops on 94 at Baker Rd. are usually the cheapest, but even they are at $2.77. However, I work in Westland, about a mile from Metro Airport and I saw gas prices at a Sunoco at $2.59 just yesterday. It was .20 higher at the next block. Strange.

Oh, I just wanted to add that my hubby and I both commute about 100 miles round trip. We share rides three days a week, but this week scheduling conflicts have prohibited our ride together. EEK!!! That's a lot of gas.

According to tonights news, why GAS is so HIGH: GLOBAL ENERGY DEMANDS ARE UP IT COSTS MORE TO PRODUCE GASOLINE AND THE MARKETS ARE GOING TO REMAIN TIGHT AND EXPECT 4.00 A GALLON IN SOME PLACES. A BARREL OF CRUDE WILL TOP 71 DOLLARS BY THE END OF THIS MONTH. SO IN SHORT, THERE IS NO DROP IN PRICES ANTICIPATED. MUCH WORSE, THEY COULD KEEP GOING UP. like I said, time to buy a horse.

I'm with you Stacey, time to buy a horse. I can imagine what the city of Livonia would do if I tried to ride a horse down 7 mile rd. Or build a barn! I hate these gas prices. They have us all over a barrel, literally. Mary

Probably would be ILLEGAL, and some cute officer would come pull you over and site you and give you and the horse a ticket!!!! I thought maybe I would rollerblade to work but I get out late and start early.....so I dont know! Stacey W 239/164/July 19, 2005

We (Kalamazoo area) are at 2.89/regular unleaded also. Meijer and Admiral were still sitting at 2.59 when I filled up but now everyone is up. Sheryl In the Zoo
