Back from vacation, and looking for $2.59.

Comment on the August 3 prediction: Prices rose to $2.69 the next day, slightly below the $2.72-$2.82 range I predicted. But, I’ll call it CORRECT regardless. Tuesday, August 18, 2009, 4:20PM: I spent last week near Cheboygan. Prices were frozen at $2.69 up there all week, while the games continued in Grand Rapids. Let’s see [...]

Too close to call

Gas prices to maintain $2.45-$2.69 range

Comment on my June 23 posting: Prices have continued to fall for a week, so the prediction was CORRECT. Tuesday, June 30, 2009, 9:30PM: I just want to share what I am looking at right now. The moderate jump in wholesale prices this week has given us a 0-cent margin price of about $2.45 and [...]
