A gas war is currently going on between four different gas stations all located near the intersection of M-55 and US 127 in the mid-Michigan resort community.
War is never good, unless it's a gas price war like the one raging in Wyoming between 28th and 44th Streets.
A check on GasBuddy.com shows prices at Wyoming stations in those neighborhoods running about 42 cents a gallon cheaper than the rest of Kent County. But why?
The price of a gallon of gas is one of the most heated topics of discussion next to the color of a certain dress.
And the important question: Why do gas prices keep going up?
The price of gas is starting to go back up. For the first time this year, gas was back up to $2.19. I know, you shouldn't complain about that price when 6 months ago it was $3.50.
All the "experts" can't get their ducks in a row. Will gas get cheaper, or will it get way more expensive? No one knows. No one is even CLOSE to knowing.
Michigan is usually nowhere near the top of the list when it comes to low gas prices, but for some reason, we have the lowest average gas prices in the country, right here in Grand Rapids!
Gas is less than $2 per gallon in Michigan in Greenville, of all places.
That hotbed of economic equality. It's the place where low prices began, as the home of Meijer. Now, the gas there is the cheapest in the state.
