The market is already up 7-8 cents, if wholesale prices go up 7-10+ cents tonight, it will make $2.999 unprofitable. It looks like about 75% of the MI Speedway stations are at or below $2.999. So, there is a pretty good chance that they will restore to $3.099 - $3.159 tomorrow if wholesale prices go up tonight. I don't know why this always happens when retail prices are around an even amount, the wholesale prices keep bouncing back and forth making $x.999 profitable then unprofitable. People always drag their feet going above a new dollar and are overeager to drop below it. I have a feeling that we are going to be stuck on the $3 mark for awhile unless something major (good or bad) happens economy wise.

The only problem is that the future's market is going up today (up about 9 cents right now). But, rack prices are still more than 35 cents higher than the NYMEX price, so a spike in the market might not get passed on to wholesale. I was in the UP this weekend and stations up there are still $3.45-$3.50! I know that they probably pay 10-20 cents/gal more in freight than we do, but wow. Jeffrey Alan Messer: Speedway hasn't figured out yet that when they close a station for remodeling (they have done a lot the last few years) that they need to stop listing the price on their website. So, a lot of the times when 1 site looks real high or real low, it is because it hasn't changed in weeks or months. I would guess that those 4 high priced ones in OH are closed. The VW one might be right if they get gas from a terminal that is still experiencing shortages.

These appear to be the lowest priced Speedways in the country at the moment, among 1,537 Speedway and Super America locations. $2.639 at the lowest priced Speedway in Indiana, in Franklin. $2.679 at the lowest priced Super America in Minnesota, in Inver Grove Heights. $2.759 at the lowest priced Speedway in Michigan, in Sturgis (on the Indiana state line). $3.109 at the lowest priced Speedway in Illinois, in Kankakee. On the high end: $3.349 at the highest priced Speedways in Michigan, one each in Traverse City and Grayling. $3.399 at the highest priced Speedways in Indiana, two in Munster and one in Merrillville. $3.799 at the highest priced Speedway in Illinois, in Chicago. $3.939 at one Speedway in Lewis Center, Ohio. That number is so high, I wonder if it is accurate. While there are 3 other Speedways in Ohio $3.729 or above, maybe there is an error in transferring the current price. $4.059 at the highest priced Speedway in West Virginia, in Bridgeport. Maybe it is in the mountains? As of this moment:
