According to michigangasprices.com, it's anwhere from $3.57 to $3.89 in my city in the last 4 hours. It's usually 5-10 cents higher for me, than for my mom, 10 miles away on the other side of town.

tuesday or yesterday cant remember went from $3.499 to 3.539 when i went home from lunch, on the way back to work it said $3.599 and thats where its at at the moment but i look for it to sky rocket over the weekend to catch up to oil price rise.

i just read that OPEC leaders believe that oil price will rise and should be at $200 a barell. with those resulting gas prices ill have to sell the truck and the sportsman. it just ticks me off. oh well what can you do.

lets go $6 or $7 a gal and be more than half of what i make per hour to work. WooHoo

Yea my 06 Silverado gets like 13.5-14mpg city and it was killing me. i bought my moms bfs saturn and its getting around 35mpg. alot better but when gas is creaping ever closer to half of what you make per hour (if it gets to $6per gal) its hard to go anywhere.

ive even considered selling the truck. i hate making payments on something that just sits in front of my house.

anyways at the moment $3.659 here in VA.

Kansas city: 3.65 - jumped $.12 overnight.
Does anyone else wonder why our troops over in Iraq are paying what we pay here in the states and the citizens of Iraq are paying over $2 less than they are??? Last I knew, they were paying just over $1 per gallon??? Makes a fella wonder.
The reason for the high prices have nothing to do with the Oil Companies. They average$.08 per gallon for each gallon sold. The reason has to do with not only supply and demand, but the unbelievable tarrifs and taxes our government has set forth. Just more to make a fella wonder???
Anyways: ride safe and play hard (or at least play)

Just to put you in some kind of perspective. Gas price in my country and in Europe in general is around $8.50 and diesel $7.30... so you don't know first thing about high gas prices. $4/gallon sounds practically free and i would be jumping up and down for joy, if i could buy gas that cheap.
