Predictions
Edit: Speedway has just hiked to $3.95 in Michigan; while not totally shocking, this is something that might have been expected. The Gas Game gets quite difficult to predict at times like this!
Another disappointing report from the Dept. of Energy this week, we can look for gasoline to trade higher today.
Perhaps due to the Hurricane/Tropical [...]

Status Update
Hope everyone is having a fabulous weekend.
Thought I would e-mail everyone and let them know the latest with gas
prices. I just checked the NHC latest forecast for soon-to-be
Hurricane Ernesto, and it doesn’t look good at all. It appears that
Tropical Storm Ernesto has sucessfully fought off a lot of windshear
