Oh my gosh gas has jumped up to 5.25 here in Michigan. Not all places but HOW can they do this to our country. They are driving us into the ground. Can I afford it -yes but it cuts down on other things and I feel so bad for those that are barely getting by as it is.
Come on what are we suppose to do. I know it has to do with the hurricans but will it go down when things get straighened out?

Wow! It's $3.49 here and that is 12 cents more than it was yesterday.

in Livonia today it was $4.69... in Westland it was $4.49 and down here in lowly Romulus / Belleville it was $4.39 (cheapest -- and that was Chavez...) I just kept floating past them all...

It was $3.87/3.89 at the two stations at my corner a little while ago. The Meijer down the road was $3.87 or 3.89. This is in Downriver (Detroit area). I believe it was $3.64 yesterday evening at the same stations.

it was 4.77 in the town next to me, and the guy on the radio says to fill up because it will be over 5.00 by the morning.

I topped off my tank at 3.83, just a half mile down the road is 3.99. Which is closer to my house. I heard it supposed to be more here very soon too. But 5.25 is rediculous.

the gas stations are lined up around here, had to wait about a half hour to pay 3.98 a gallon.....its terrible! I live in Genesee County and it hasnt gone up yet, but its expected too......................My mom is in Texas, did not evacuate because she is only suppose to get rain and horrible winds, but all the stores and gas stations are closed down there.

DH and I went out this evening to get gas and went to two stations and they were out. Finally we went to a third and was able to get gas there. There was a line waiting for gas the whole time we were there. It was $3.89 but expected to go way up. I heard on the news that the price of gas raised $1.00 over night in some parts of Kentucky. :getyou

Wait so the prices going up because of IKE or because of gouging?

It was $3.94 here today and everybody was lining up to fill up and gas stations were all out of regular just premium left and that went up 20 cents

It looks like a combination of both. This explains it pretty good.

from 3.37 to 5.17 for n/l reg. the baton rouge refinery still doesn't have power yet. houston refineries is some of our biggest suppliers. they supposedly shut down yesterday. here in mississippi we can't hardly get gas or diesel to take to the stores. we've just about about run collins, meridian, vicksburg, pascagoula, and greenville miss. terminals dry trying to supply the stores.

we filled up for $3.41 today, but right after it went up to $3.69

around my mom, she has one place that has been at and is staying at $3.09~~really cheap!!! something about they are able to offer gas at this price because they don't take anything but cash so they don't get charged fees for every credit/debit purchase, at least that is what they told my mom

I see it as price gouging. There is no way it has affected michigan like that already. And my understanding (I maybe wrong) is that 20% of the nations refined oil comes out of the gulf. And alot of them have not even got back up running since Katrina. Just another way of sticking it to us IMO.

Here in Birmingham the gas was $3.59 when I went to work yesterday, when I got home from work it was $4.19 all over, and there were lines going down the road to all of them. The governor here declared a state of emergency so there couldn't be price gouging. I hate that people are taking advantage of this and bilking the consumers.

We saw gas prices here in our little town raise 40 cents yesterday at one station. The others have gone up about 20 cents. The store right by our house is usually the highest is now the cheapest. They only went 10 cents. We got gas this afternoon for $3.89 but some of the other places are as high as $4.19. It's crazy.

$1.81 today. :) I'm happy with that but the governor announced today that they would be passing a bill for an 11 cent pergallon gas tax which will take effect after the 1st of the year. They are doing away with some tolls on the Mass Pike. It's great for those that use rt 90 but for those of us that use it occasionally, we get screwed.

Gas is $1.86 here now. I guess you can't believe all the economic news you read seeing some of your gas prices, they said due to additives gas won't get as low at $1.50 again, even tho is so cheap a barrel.

At least there's one bright spot in this bed economy.

When I went by the gas station yesterday, it was only 1.69. Hopefully it will continue to drop. I only get gas every 2 weeks, so I am riding around on 1.99 gas right this minute. It always drops after I get gas. But even at what it is right this minute it would only cost 42$ to fill up, which isn't great, but when you think it hasn't been long since that cost me 100$ to fill up.

I think PA is the last to lower their gas. Most places are between $2.07 and $2.09 here. We did see a couple that were $1.99 today after we put gas in our van.

I think its a bunch of crap they can do it just because they got the taste of high prices etc. They are still earning bigtime profits.
