Excessive Spending - Prices Don't Compute

It's good to be back from vacation. The weather was great in Florida, but "there's no place like home."

I noticed something about gas prices: Michigan manages to stay outside of the competitive circle.

Florida gas prices were higher than Georgia by about 20¢. That's consistent with the 18¢ difference in gasoline taxes. Our last fill in northern Ohio was $209.9 (about the same in Dayton). In southeastern Michigan, prices are around $2.35 - 2.40. That's not consistent with the 4¢ difference in taxes.

So, who is gouging Michigan? And don't give the "special summer blend" excuse.
