One of the individuals that provides data powering The Spike Line and Today in Oil features is off for a few days. You may not see updates to either of these pages until next week, although if there is data available I’ll see that it is posted. -CP-

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.
Note: To be precise, add 9/10 of a cent to all prices described on this web page.

Craig, I’ve noticed frequent updates on the site but the numbers below that don’t seem to be changing much, if at all. Are the differences really that minuscule?
Jeff, thank you for pointing this out. I’ve adjusted the underlying spreadsheet and re-posted the Spike Line page. Today in Oil appears to have been unaffected, and the graphs have been current.
Thanks, Craig. That looks a lot better.
Had to go to the east side Ann Arbor Costco today to pick up my new specs. Was told they can’t adjust them due to COVID-19. Anyway, pulled in and saw literally no cars at the gas station, unlike a week ago when the line(s) were all the way out to the street. Filled up at $1.59/gal. Most of the mainstream stations, 95%, are stuck on $1.99 and won’t go lower.
Crude down another $5 or 18%. Soon $1.50 will be the norm.
