Gas prices just jumped almost 20 cents in the last hour
$1.97 for regular here in Lansing. Which means it will be over $2 in Battle Creek.
I think these companies should have to post in the newspaper or something anytime gas jumps more than 5 cents during any week. give us a reason for the jump

You think they should let everyone know when price goes up by 5 cents a gallon?!
You'd have a field day up here then when you find out that the price has just gone up by 10 or 12 cents per LITRE!!!
And that happens all the time. I know that $1.80 - $2.00 seems like a big jump, but here, our gas prices have gone from around ~$.70/litre to ~$.86/litre!
Oh, and that's for regular (87). The good stuff (92 or 94) is 10 - 12 cents more, meaning upwards of ~$.96 - $.98/litre
. This is absolute 
.
I remember last summer when prices dropped way down, regular gas cost as low as $.55/litre..............I mean now, it's damn close to double!
(but I REFUSE to drive a gas-miser vehicle
)

$1.98 here as well, the Admiral station off of 131 had it still for $1.75 and there was a line extending out into the street. I just paid $2.13 for 93 I have to get my sunfire on the road soon, I can't afford these insane prices since I live so far out in the country and have to drive long distances to get everywhere.

if i had to pay 2.50 for 93+ a gallon to fill up that means i'd be paying $40 to go under 200 miles.....$1 to drive 5 miles. that's alot of fun!
we need a sticky thread that people can post weekly updates on the cheapest gas.
