Gas Prices on the Way to Florida

Comment on the August 5 prediction: It was CORRECT, as we haven’t seen a hike since August 2.

Sunday, August 22, 2021, 10AM: My son and I completed the “spring break” drive from Michigan to Florida this past week, as he starts graduate school in Orlando. Starting with stuck prices of $3.29 on Lake Michigan Drive in western Kent County, it was interesting to see prices falling as we went south, including $2.99’s in Charlotte, and $2.80’s and $2.70’s in Indiana, Kentucky, Tennessee, and Georgia. It reminded me of my 1985 spring break trip from Michigan State, when in the middle of the night, somewhere in one of those states, you could buy a gallon of gas for 69 cents. Going forward, oil prices took a beating last week, and gas prices are starting to follow. Prices are down to $2.85 on Alpine Avenue — other places should head that way this week. -EA
