Gas Prices Soar!

We'd still be paying the other 45 cents a gallon in gas taxes plus 6% sales tax on the first $2.30 per gallon. However, it was fought because Michigan's economy is in the pisser and they need the added tax revenue. <sigh> It was a nice thought.

Maybe our economy would be better if we had cheaper gas prices, and then people would have more money in their pockets to spend places... IE the gas station??? People should get free vouchers for the gas station if they spend a certain amount on gas.

I pay $37 for my Mountaineer when I'm near empty. This sucks.

OH! Marathon on Northline between Fort and Dix always has the cheapest. Unfortunately I have a BP card so I'm stuck paying 2.22 right now, but Marathon's this morning was 2.17. There were two gas stations in Westland that were battling each other and got down to like 1.9something yesterday. Too bad no one Downriver is smart enough to do that.

Don't these gas stations realize that if they sold it cheaper than everyone else, they'd get more business and gather more revenue and probably make out about the same?
