gas prices

Would you be for a higher gas tax, if it meant our roads would be fixed?

The experts at GasBuddy® have released their predictions for gas prices over the next twelve months in the United States. While it looks like prices will peak in the Spring, they aren't expected to jump much this year. Read their findings after the jump.

Gas prices here in West Michigan are about to be near the record highs of 2008 as we roll through the spring and summer months. There has been talk about it nearing $5 a gallon. What?! Seriously?! That is insane!  How can it even be that high...

Hope you got your major traveling in over the holiday weekend.  West Michigan gas prices are expected to climb over the next couple of days.

If that headline doesn't bring a smile to your face...you must ride a moped.  Trying to predict gas prices is tough.  Like trying to forecast the weather or who's going home on 'American Idol'.  (remember Pia Toscano?) Let's hope that the experts are right this time...

Memorial Day is this weekend and that means it's officially time to pull out the grill to fire-up some serious vittles! Mmmm, can you smell what I smell??

Who said gas prices are out of control? The Torrance Daily Breeze reports a service station in Wilmington, California sold premium gas for the rock-bottom-it-must-be-1992 price of $1.10 a gallon for a four-hour period last Sunday. The gas was supposed to be sold for $4...

With $4 a gallon gasoline on top of us here in West Michigan, the next round of complaints about the price of gas are going loud and strong.  While none of us like the prospect of paying more at the pump, it's always good to have a sense of perspective on how the cost of gasoline compares to other things we pay for, sometimes very willingly...

Well it looks like the new year has brought on some new costs.  I was surfing around the internet when I came across an article that highlights some of the increases in price.
