OUCH! Michigan Gasoline Prices Close To Record High (mid-michigan $4.29)

Motorists are within a few pennies of paying more for gasoline than ever before in Michigan.

After another 10-to-15 cent spike today, Michigan’s average price for gas stands at $4.21 a gallon. The all-time record is $4.26 set back on May 3rd, 2011.

The higher pump prices are hurting everyone, including gas station owners.

“Quite frankly, gasoline has not been anything much more than a 'loss-leader' for most stations for a long period of time now,” explains Mark Griffin, president of the Michigan Association of Convenience Stores, “They make their money off the in-store sales, not at the pump.”

If they would only let the XL pipeline go over the Ogalala aquifer we would have cheaper gas and hundreds of thousands of jobs. Exxon just got rid of 35 union jobs in the Billings refinery/ Subcontractors , carpenters, labors and insulators and replaced them with $12.00 per hour help and they get no benefits either. Now I'm boycotting those pricks. I literally HATE all of their CEO's.
