Michigan gas prices down 24 cents over last 2 weeks
Must be the Governor's commercial worked! ;-)

DETROIT (AP) — The average price of self-serve regular gasoline in the state is down 24 cents per gallon over the past two weeks, AAA Michigan said Monday.

The statewide average for regular unleaded is $2.88, which is 17.5 cents per gallon more than this time last year.

The Traverse City area has the most expensive gasoline of Michigan's metropolitan areas at $3 per gallon, the auto club said.

I just paid $2.86 mid-grade ($2.76 reg, and GR is usually one of the more expensive markets in the state). Like my Dad recently said, "Now all we have to do is shut down the other half of Prudhoe Bay and we will be down to $2."

What in the world is going on here?
