Petroleum industry analysts warned us that 4-dollar a gallon gas would be here before summer. It officially arrived yesterday, with no relief in sight.
We've been hearing the predictions for quite some time. The rumor is now reality for drivers in the Flint area. Gasoline prices are now at $4 a gallon at a majority of local stations.
Remember the Spring/Summer of 2008? Gas prices in mid-Michigan were well above $4 a gallon. We didn't like it then, but a lot of us made some changes that decreased demand for oil which eventually brought prices down.
