$1.66 at Murphy (Walmart), $1.67 at Mobil. Only 2 stations that didn't flinch when everyone started to jack prices up again last week.
MI average price is $1.981/gal for reg.
For summer gas, I've noticed my best mileage from Marathon and Shell fuels.
Bill Cody, when they do stabilize, I hope it's reasonable for everyone involved.

I'd like it to stay low for a vacation I'd like to take in June to New England!

I saw on the news some Wonderful Lawmakers see this as a possible opportunity to raise gas tax

Our prices here in Illinois are higher as we have the highest gas tax of any of our adjoining states.

At Walmart here in Hurst, gas is $1.57. At Walmart in Bowie, it is $1.82.
Like the Godfather said, it's just business.
It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.

Used to drive the thruway on to Mass and tried not to stop in NY for gas or food! Beautiful state though and awesome fishing. Was really impressed with how Niagara Falls has cleaned up last summer vs. when I had last stopped there on my honeymoon in 1990. Back in 1990 there was litter everywhere. Not this time. And it was apparent there had been new landscaping and upgrades. There was even a statue of Nikola Tesla! About time they give him some credit that Edison stole!

Yeah, Buffalo is finally getting its act together after the loss of all of those steel mills. Niagara is pretty awesome, and even more amazing around Christmas when they do the festival of lights on both sides. Just don't park your car where the mist falls like I did once. I couldn't get into my car!
The advantage of high taxes is it keeps development rates very low. That means we still have country, farms, etc close to decent paying jobs. I could do a lot better in other states, but at the cost of not having any land or a pond unless I invested in a separate "camp" or something.
Mr. Tesla is somewhat of a hero for me as I have built Tesla coils, played a lot with induction motors, and much of what he developed is in use at my day to day job. I tried to get a picture of my son on his lap at the falls, but he is so wiggly he kept slipping off! The lap is pretty slippery.

Yep, the last one out needs to "turn out the lights, the party's over".
