I hope you're right, but with these recent moves by the Federal Reserve (and subsequent weakening/devaluing of the Dollar), I fear that we may soon see new highs.


This article does a good job of explaining the spike...

I'm not going to post a link to this as it's pointless (They made a "story" out of a few sentences), but those here in Michigan may find this interesting...

DEARBORN, Mich. (AP) -- The auto club said Monday the statewide average is 42 cents per gallon higher than last year at this time.

Of the cities it surveys, AAA Michigan says the cheapest price for self-serve regular fuel is in the Benton Harbor, Flint, Grand Rapids and Saginaw/Bay City areas, where it's $2.96 a gallon. The highest average can be found in the Marquette area at $3.08.

$3.09-$3.16. I've heard on the news that gas prices may rise to at least $5.00 by early 2012 due to the high demand.  :blink:

It's about $2.99 here. Almost $40 to fill my tank!

By the time they even get that high demand will fall. So I highly doubt that.

I'm sure by the end of next month we'll see a decrease when everyone is back at school and work.

Yeah, $5 is probably too extreme.
Remember when prices were in the 3-4 dollar range in 2008, and plummeted to at times less than $1.50 in spring 2009?

I'm not surprised about Flint and Saginaw/Bay City being on there. Mount Morris, on the north side of Flint, typically has the cheapest prices in the state. The highest? Beaver Island west of Petoskey in Lake Michigan... but that is pretty self explanatory. Right now however, the Soo has the highest prices.

As for the prices here, Speedway usually leads the way up, but the Speedway in Frandor (between Lansing and the E.L.) and two stations north of Haslett usually lead the way down ironically. Prices right now are about $3.05-$3.10.
