We are seeing prices crossing the spike line again, which means we should see a price increase soon. Tuesday is a traditional day, so it is my guess it will come tomorrow. Fill up before prices go up!

The name of the site is based off an essay Ed wrote for the Grand Rapids Press titled "The Gas Game". The current website was established later by Patrick DeHaan after he and Ed predicted gas price hikes on GasBuddy's website GrandRapidsGasPrices.com, as well as Ed’s personal web page.

10:21 a.m. Tuesday
We’re good for today. Tomorrow should be a lock for prices to go up. New York gasoline futures are up another 2.41¢ this morning to $2.7831.
Current averages:
$3.486 – Michigan (lowest $3.289 in Port Huron and Marysville)
$3.470 – Kalamazoo (lowest $3.379 on Gull Rd. and in Parchment)
$3.464 – Grand Rapids (lowest $3.399 at many locations)
$3.452 – Indiana ($3.159 in Seymour, state’s lowest)
$3.369 – Ohio ($3.039 at Kroger in Centerville, state’s lowest)
$3.339 – USA
The Spike Line calculation for Michigan screwed up again. It should be $3.48378 with a .222¢ differential. You have it as $3.4113 with an 8.87¢ differential. The calculations for Indiana, Ohio, and Indianapolis are all presumably correct, as they all show -4 to -6¢ differentials.
On the E-85 front, AAA’s national average is up 3¢ to $3.026 since my post on Friday. Over the past week, AAA’s national E-85 average is up 8.1¢. However, AAA’s national average for regular unleaded gasoline, E-10, is up 9.3¢ over the past week, so the increase in E-85 is apparently not directly related to the elimination of the ethanol subsidy.
