Thumbs down Gas Prices

I am curious to see how gas prices are looking for the rest of the country, and your opinons on them.
I am in the UP of Michigan and its 1.80 for regular and 1.95 for premium for my snowmobile. Needless to say I am not a happy camper.

Chris

About $1.60 for premium right now.. used to be like $1.07 before the prices originally started the somewhat recent up and down bit.. Would I like to see lower prices? Who wouldn't? Just glad I'm not as high priced as other parts of the country

Do ppl really pay $.13 more for 1 1/2 more octane rating? That is weird. Around here: low grade is 87......mid grade is 91 and $.10 more than low...........high grade is 93 and $.20 more than low.

Since I live in Iowa and Ethanol is pretty plentiful, it's cheaper to go with the mid-grade fuel. I kinda like it.
