I've been spending too much time on the road recently, but it's certain that mid-Michigan drivers are paying more for gasoline than many drivers elsewhere. Last Sunday, I spotted this price - granted, it was at a Murphy Oil station, with a reputation of undercutting everyone else - in Houghton Lake.



Then last night, I filled up at this station at the corner of Middlebelt Road and Ann Arbor Trail in Westland.

Meanwhile, stations in Mt. Pleasant and Clare are charging $3.88 - even as we have a report from Monroe that the price there has fallen to $3.45.
