Today marks the change back from summer gasoline to the winter blend that is much easier and less expensive to produce. Will this play a major factor in deciding whether prices go up tomorrow? It definitely could. I am looking for a hike to $2.99, but it may or may not happen, and it may [...]

With prices nose-diving around Grand Rapids this weekend, I’m thinking we’re going to see a hike sooner rather than later. The only question that remains is to what price? Quite tricky. The 0-cent margin is about $2.76 right now, with a few retailers making it down to as low as $2.79. I think that those [...]

That should help West Michigan and the Midwest region to start dropping into the $2’s again… but for how long? Maybe just a couple weeks… [...]

I’ve just refreshed the latest Speedway pricing at local stations and see they absolutely outdid themselves (again!) to 3.24. Not only was this overkill, but we should see prices fall a little back to the realm of reality ($3.15-$3.24).
Expect local prices to stay high as the Midwest takes a huge hit in the next week [...]
