The Speedway Gas station in Algonac, MI has been at 2.59 for over a week. Most of the other stations between Algonac and Port Huron are in the 2.60s.

Thanks Ed for the response. I know I don’t understand how the whole gas pricing thing works, but I do understand competition. As of this week, there has been a Marathon gas station added to Rockford. It used to be a BP on the corner of Myers Lake and 10 Mile. Now it’s a Marathon. And then, the only other competition is Meijer by the highway. I don’t shop at that Meijer, either, their prices are higher than other Meijer stores and the only competition is D & W. It would be nice to get a Walmart Supercenter or Target Supercenter up in that neck of the woods, too.

The price in Cedar Springs is close to what the retailers are paying right now. Is there a low-price competitor there (Admiral, Citgo, Wesco)?

Can somebody tell me WHY is gas $2.65 in Cedar Springs [$2.60 with your Meijer card] and $2.79 in Rockford?????? That’s a 14 cent difference and they’re only 5 miles apart. I don’t contribute to the Rockford community at all – it’s a big rip off.
