Wonder why it is so much higher in MI than the national average? I saw a sign somewhere in CA that I believe said $4.97!!!

Good news is that crude prices are coming down due to Americans (and others) starting to curtail their driving. But gas prices will probably continue up for awhile. It's changeover time.

Since Hog didn't tell us just when to be shocked by the sticker prices, I thought I might give all of us a preview.

Study: Gas prices will be 40% higher than last summer- MSN Money

They're talking about fuel prices SUSTAINED at 40% over last summer. Ok, so I'm retired, and it shouldn't affect me. WRONG. We all know that translates into higher prices all around. Today, I paid $4.99 for a gallon of milk. By mid-summer, with the prices, I expect to be paying well over $5/gallon for that same milk.

The IDIOTS (experts) are saying that the rise in fuel costs won't have an effect on the economic recovery. Just who are they trying to convince? Us or themselves? It was the rise in fuel costs that was the final straw that threw the economy into the last tail-spin. It's not just the cost of fuel that kills the economy. It's the rise in all the other prices, put together with the cost of fuel that does it. The drivers (and trucking companies) get to see the sticker shock, but the general public gets to see the rise in all the other costs. Why is it that no one connects that to the cost of fuel?

I dont know how much this will help anyone but here's a site that you put the state, or zip code or county in the search line and it will show the stations and their prices .... GasBuddy.com - Find Low Gas Prices in the USA and Canada
