Gas costs back on road to $3
http://www.detnews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070220/BIZ/702200329/1148/AUTO01

The steady climb to higher spring gasoline prices is under way and a repeat of last year's $3 a gallon is a strong possibility.

The average price for a gallon of regular in Metro Detroit reached $2.28 Monday, according AAA Michigan. That's up 38 cents from a month ago and the highest price at the pump since Dec. 4.

Statewide, the average price for a gallon of gas is $2.30.

Pump prices are more than a dime higher than at this time last year, fueling concerns that Michigan drivers again could soon pay $3 a gallon -- as they have the past two summers.

3. I hate to say it. Expensive gas appears to be the ONLY way to get
Americans to use less.

Sad.

Oh well, this will probably take out the remaining Hummers in my area. Funny how most of them disappeared last year, never to be seen again............
