Gas prices lately. WTF

not that I would drive my Camaro in the winter... but I have been noticing gas prices sky rocketing lately (nearly $4 a gallon for regular in the suburbs of Detroit). Considering most of us Camaro owners fuel up with nothing less than premium, makes me worry this summer may be very pricy. Also there has been a rumor that my Michigan governor wants to add a state wide 20 cent gas price increase, to help pay for the roads. Anyone else in the Detroit area or elsewhere around the U.S. think gas will be outrageous this summer??

I did notice it was a bit cheaper then when I was stationed at Fort Benning. Of course gas on post is cheaper then normal anyway.

Try almost $4.50 here in SoCal. Prices have gone up about 90 cents in less than a month here.
