Yes mr president you lost here in michigan 4 years ago but go ahead and kick up the prices a quarter/ gallon and TRY to win michigan this year lol

Don't worry too much guys. Bush will have his buddy Bandar bin Sultan (Bandar Bush as he's known) lower the prices probably in mid to late August. You'll get a quick 20 - 30 cent relief, think Bush is a good guy, vote for him, and then the gas prices keep shooting up. Wait, this board will vote for him regardless. LOL

You can't simply blame Bush for the whole worlds excessive gas price increase, the president alone cannot make the decisions. You have to look at all the governmental agencies that actually have the power to determine these things that the president cannot even control. You can blame Bush for a lot of screw ups but ultimately nobody could have forseen the future and done everything correctly.
I could go on but this thread is for gas prices and hopefully people will post the cheapest prices and projected future prices and info that can help us out with saving some money.
I am still trying to find the cheapest place for 93 or 94 octane. All the gas stations in Whitmore Lake are outrageous. A few Meijer gas stations have been the lowest I have seen lately.

Boo yeah! I just paid $1.015 / litre for gas!!! (that's 101.5 cents) . That's awesome..............$48 for 47 litres!

...................uh, yeah..........cause I'd rather pay $48 to fill up than $30 - $35 like it used to be.

no one is perfect but bush is 100% better then clinton and better then his competition.

cheapest i can find is 2.07 for 94 on 23 and gratiot....anyone else? i'm not even considering the low octane since our toys can't use it and none of my cars can.

Political instability in the Middle East is said to be driving up the cost of gas. Now ask yourself why it is that the Middle East is so unstable these days, ask whose policies are adding to the instability and when you've answered that question you'll also know who is to blame for your high gas prices.

Here's a hint: There hasn't been this much turmoil in the Middle East since Bush ver. 1.

I don't mind when the arabs are screwing us on gas because right now we probably deserve it. High prices are being blamed on our own gas companies right now, saying we don't have enough refinery capacity and inventory is low. What a load of BS! Has anyone heard of a gas station running out of gas recently? They just posted record profits again last year, too. I don't think the Saudi's are going to feel to gracious when it is not them causeing these big swings in the first place.

By the way, I picked upa Sunoco gas credit card and it gives you 4% cash back on gas purchases (or 8 cents/gallon right now).

any other places giving out discounts with cars.....?

it's at 2.15 for 93 which is still way to much, if this keeps up it's going to be a cruise-less summer for me at $40 every 100 miles with the toy.
