Holy Cow! Gas prices are skyrocketing!

People were panicing here in MI. Long lines at stations, blocking intersections, and causing accidents. Madness!!

It was $3.95 last I saw.

Did you see the Governor's remarks at 6pm? She said there had been unconfirmed reports of $6/gal from Kalamazoo and Grass Lake. She gave an 800 number to call if you have actually seen those prices. The state will prosecute for gouging. They did, successfully, after the black-out from 2003.

When I bought gas this morning there was only one other pump being used. Hubby filled up this afternoon - no big deal, no lines.



It was $3.69 here just a couple of days ago; went up to $3.89 overnight; then to $3.99 here in Dexter this afternoon. I heard it had gone to $4.49 in Chelsea.

I'm up near Vancouver, BC Canada and it hasn't hit us yet. I filled up tonight for $1.31/litre which is roughly $4.95/gallon. Hey, that's cheap for us.

I went out this afternoon to pick up a few groceries and the price at the pump is now $1.51/litre. It jumped 20 cents overnight. I'm sure glad I filled up last night.

AAA says the average price of a gallon of gas in the US went up 6 cents today. Sure wish that was all it was here, more than 50 cents overnight just isn't fair.

I missed the report, but I can imagine how people misunderstood and thought gas WAS going to be $6/gal.

My sister who works in Jackson told me how a coworker came running in stating it would be going up to $6 and that everyone needed to go get gas now. Linn said half the department went scrambling to fill up. My sister didn't and she had coworkers furious with her.

It's been between $4.19 - $4.27 between East Lansing and Williamston.

Not so much scrambling today.
