Comment on the April 2 prediction: So far, Michigan has been spared the recent hikes that have affected other Great Lakes states. So, the prediction was WRONG.
Sunday, April 7, 2024, 11 AM: Really, nothing has changed in wholesale-land for gas prices since my last posting. I was glad to be able to buy gas for $3.35 a gallon in Portland, west of Lansing, on Saturday evening. But still many $3.69’s in Kent and Ottawa counties. And the media has started noticing that oil has been ticking up towards $90 a barrel. So, I’m doubling down on my prediction for a hike in the next few days, in the neighborhood of $3.79. -EA
$90 a barrel you mean. Old Joe would need more than four years to achieve $90 a gallon.
$3.89 in NW Indiana yesterday, led by Family Express.
$3.759 yesterday or early this morning in Northwestern Ohio. Higher than Michigan; around Detroit Metropolitan Airport in Romulus, MI, the GREEDWay app is still indicating prices in the mid-$3s! Good Lord, at this rate, we’ll be at $4 in the Midwest before May! 🙁
In other news, GREEDWay no longer gives the lowest price of the day at a given station to GREEDWay Rewards members; I verified this on April 2nd when prices surged to $3.599 in my area.
Since 7-11 bought Speedway from Marathon their pricing strategies have been changing. They are often waiting until after GPM stations have gone up.
