Gas prices in my area (Flint, MI) hit $3.999 for a gallon of regular today. Let’s call it four dollars a gallon and be done with it.
It’s a psychological mark. Last week, I paid $3.799 a gallon to fill up. So today’s price would cost me an additional four bucks for a 20-gallon tankful. I can afford the four bucks, but the $80 for a fill up hurts. And it feels bad to see that price and to know it is going higher still. Why wouldn’t it hit five bucks a gallon this summer? I see no reason for the increases to stop — unless demand decreases.
I’m thinking twice before I jump behind the wheel. Except to go to work, of course. Luckily my commute is under 10 miles. The round trip is costing me about — four dollars.
